Although the classic way of running user filters is to store them in
files, you don't have to do it that way - you can have a redirect
router which (for example) checks the database to see if a virtual
user's 'filter enabled' flag is set, and then fetches the user's
filter data from the database also.
How you let your users update their own filter information is then up
to you, but you just need to finish up with a valid filter (which
starts '#Exim Filter\n') in the database.
