Jeremy,
This isn't a single user setup, it's our corporate server. While I am the
admin for the server I wanted to keep this code separate from the main
exim.conf structure for maintenance purposes, as well as reducing the chances
of unexpected side effects.
One idea is the check for the file existing within exim.conf, and if it does,
add a header. I could then check for this header existing within the .forward
file
I'm open to suggestions on the best way to do this.
