I’m not an exim admin so I don’t have debugging permission.
Failing that I do have access to the mainlog file and I can see the different between how things were previously processed and how they are now.
So now an entry looks like his (heavy search and replace by me here)

whereas before this looked like this

When I test this at the command line I see
I have a .forward file and it eventually uses a pipe. (or at least it use to)
exim -bt -bV user@domain

router = localuser, transport = local_delivery
But is this something I can test at the command line?
Today my ISP introduce a new router earlier in the configuration where now the log entry in my .forward is at least executed as I can see entries added to the log file.
however, any pipe etc isn’t executed from that .forward file.
