|# This router handles forwarding using traditional .forward files in users'
|# home directories. It also allows mail filtering with a forward file
|# starting with the string "# Exim filter" or "# Sieve filter".
|#
|# The no_verify setting means that this router is skipped when Exim is
|# verifying addresses. Similarly, no_expn means that this router is skipped if
|# Exim is processing an EXPN command.
|#
|# The check_ancestor option means that if the forward file generates an
|# address that is an ancestor of the current one, the current one gets
|# passed on instead. This covers the case where A is aliased to B and B
|# has a .forward file pointing to A.
|#
|# The four transports specified at the end are those that are used when
|# forwarding generates a direct delivery to a directory, or a file, or to a
|# pipe, or sets up an auto-reply, respectively.

You'll notice a certain similiarity to the stock upstream exim
userforward router.
