Check that you have a router that processses ~/.forward. This
functionality is not built-in to Exim, but is implemented in a router.
A simple grep for 'forward' in your Exim config should tell you.

If the router is there, look at the Exim logs to see why it's not
working - could be permissions on the .forward file.
