STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD!!!!

Two definitive exim rules:-

- If you are talking about getting mail to a destination, you do
not want to be considering rewriting - that is trying to bring
a sendmail (everything done by rewrites) mindset into exim

- Never do mail routing in a system filter

[Second rule is more generally specified as never use a system filter unless there really is no other way of doing it - the generalisation of which is don't do system filters]
