### router/600_exim4-config_userforward ################################# # This router handles forwarding using traditional .forward files in users' # home directories. It also allows mail filtering with a forward file # starting with the string "# Exim filter" or "# Sieve filter". # # The no_verify setting means that this router is skipped when Exim is # verifying addresses. Similarly, no_expn means that this router is skipped if # Exim is processing an EXPN command. # # The check_ancestor option means that if the forward file generates an # address that is an ancestor of the current one, the current one gets # passed on instead. This covers the case where A is aliased to B and B # has a .forward file pointing to A. # # The four transports specified at the end are those that are used when # forwarding generates a direct delivery to a directory, or a file, or to a # pipe, or sets up an auto-reply, respectively. userforward: debug_print = "R: userforward for $local_part@$domain" driver = redirect domains = +local_domains check_local_user file = $home/.forward require_files = $local_part:$home/.forward no_verify no_expn check_ancestor allow_filter forbid_smtp_code = true directory_transport = address_directory file_transport = address_file pipe_transport = address_pipe reply_transport = address_reply skip_syntax_errors syntax_errors_to = real-$local_part@$domain syntax_errors_text = \ This is an automatically generated message. An error has\n\ been found in your .forward file. Details of the error are\n\ reported below. While this error persists, you will receive\n\ a copy of this message for every message that is addressed\n\ to you. If your .forward file is a filter file, or if it is\n\ a non-filter file containing no valid forwarding addresses,\n\ a copy of each incoming message will be put in your normal\n\ mailbox. If a non-filter file contains at least one valid\n\ forwarding address, forwarding to the valid addresses will\n\ happen, and those will be the only deliveries that occur.
