That's because this isn't a facility available to .forward files. The
variables from Exim are (I think) all available but not the expansion
operators. There's a different syntax, documented in filter.txt, and
expansion operators are not there.

When you asked before and were pointed to ${addresses:}, you hadn't
actually said that this was for a header file.

Look instead at "foranyaddress", per "3.26 Testing a list of addresses"
with the examples therein.
