When I want to toggle b/w logging and no logger I simply comment out
the logfile command in my .forward
Can you tell me if exim has a problem with doing this and still
leaving logwrites uncommented?
Because my ISP tells me they see the following in their log
> elastica@??? <voro444@???> R=userforward
> defer (-17): error in filter file: attempt to obey "logwrite"
> command without a previous "logfile"
> Looks like you have an issue in your scripts/.forward

My guess is, yes.
Why don't you just try defining it to /dev/null?
