Hi,
For exim to treat the .forward file as special and not as a regular
.forward file, you need to have the first line like so:
# Exim filter <<== do not edit or remove this line!
The rest is pretty easy. You can check out the
/usr/doc/exim/filter.txt.gz file for more in depth info. Here's mine
though to get you started:
# Exim filter <<== do not edit or remove this line!
if error_message then finish endif
if $h_Reply-to: contains "kplug-newbie"
then save $home/Mail/IN.KPLUG-Newbie
elif $h_Resent-From: contains "debian-user"
then save $home/Mail/IN.Debian-User
elif $h_Reply-to: contains "kplug-list"
then save $home/Mail/IN.KPLUG
elif $h_From: contains "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and
$h_Subject: contains "Fwd:"
then save $home/Mail/IN.SBUSD
elif $h_Subject: contains "[Lockergnome]"
then save $home/Mail/IN.Lockergnome
elif $h_From: contains "Linux news daily mailing list"
then save $home/Mail/IN.Linux-News
else save $home/Mail/IN.BOX
endif
I use mutt as my mail reader, so your mail directory my be different.
Hope that helps,
