Betreff: [exim] .foward filter just invokes normal delivery

Hi,

I'm afraid this might be a basic issue, but I'm currently absolutely clueless with the following behavior.
The .forward file used is

# Exim filter
if personal and not error_message then
mail
to $reply_address
subject "Re: $h_subject:"
file $home/vacation_message
endif

where vacation_message is a short plaint text file in the local users directory.
I'm using the following router before the localuser router:

userforward:
driver = redirect
check_local_user
file = $home/.forward
no_verify
no_expn
check_ancestor
allow_filter
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply

Run with the -bf option against this filter Exim produces

"Filtering did not set up a significant delivery.
Normal delivery will occur."

Many thanks for any hints!

Martin
