Exim needs to know what uid to use when reading the .forward file.
check_local_user sets this up for local system users. In your case,
you need to set 'user=<some user that can read all the .forward
files>', or perhaps to a uid read from the database if the files are
not all readable by one system user.

data= instead of file=
Store the filter contents in a database column, retrieve it just like
you're retrieving the filename already.
