There seems to be an issue with the latest Exim and exim.conf file not properly processing the userforward section.... I have an account that doesn't have any email addresses defined, and has a simple .forward file to just log what comes in (for debug purposes of processing further);
# Exim filter
logfile $home/exim.log
However, the .forward file never seems to be processed. I've checked the exim.conf file, and it has the router defined (it's default);
userforward:
driver = redirect
domains = lsearch,ret=key;/etc/virtual/domainowners
allow_filter
check_ancestor
check_local_user
no_expn
file = $home/.forward
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply
directory_transport = address_directory
no_verify
As a test, I put the same config in /etc/exim.routers.pre.conf thinking that maybe one of the other routers is not returning correctly, but that didn't make a difference.
I need the .forward file to be processed to do some custom email sorting, and I can't even get the basic process working. It was working in versions of exim before (4.9.3 I believe), and earlier config files. I compared the router sections for userforward, and they haven't changed in forever for different exim.conf files.
Any ideas what could be happening?
