Just add the following to your existing redirect router and you should
be good:

user = <user that owns the filter file>
group = <group that owns the filter file, optional>
require_files = <filter filename>
errors_to = ""

The require_files is optional, but will quietly skip the router if
the user's filter file doesn't exist. You would basically set this
the same as the "file=" value if you want to use it.

I also set errors_to="" so that if there are any syntax errors in
the filter that they don't get sent back to the sender. You could
also set that to hostmaster@yourdomain if you wanted the noise.

Oh, and of course make sure your filtering redirect router occurs
before your forwarding router in the config file.
