See the "no_verify" line you added there? Remove it. It does mean though that
the .forward files will need to be readable by the Exim run-time user, whereas
the normal configuration means that they only need to be readable by the file
owner.

Alternatively, have a second "accept" Router which takes the mail if the
.forward-$ext file exists and make it verify_only. This will cause backscatter
if the user's .forward-$ext file tries to forward to a non-existent local
address, but so will the default setup.

If you have concrete suggestions for improving the documentation, they're very
welcome.

The default config is intended to be "fairly stock"; there are *lots* of
changes we could add for other ways to do things. Instead, those go in
config.samples, available on the FTP site.

There's also the wiki: http://wiki.exim.org/FrontPage
