one important thing about them exim filters is that to mark them
as exim filters you need to specify that they are actually exim
filters, which you do by including
# Exim filter
at the first line of your exim filter -- previously known as a
~/.forward file.
here's a cross-section from mine:
# Exim filter
logfile $home/.forward.log 0600
if error_message
then
save Mail/error
logwrite "From $return_path $tod_log\n Subject: $h_subject:\n Folder:
error $message_size"
finish
endif
# --------------------
# debian mailing lists
if $h_X-Mailing-List matches "^<debian-(.*)@lists\\\\.debian\\\\.org>"
#X-Mailing-List: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> archive/latest/151892
then
save Mail/debian-${lc:$1}
logwrite "From $return_path $tod_log\n Subject: $h_subject:\n Folder:
debian-${lc:$1} $message_size"
finish
endif
[all that logfile hooey is for me to remain in my mailstat
comfort zone, being the lazy sot that i am.]
