Email forwarders not working for a single user

Email forwarders not working for 1 user

Hi Guys,
First off, I think it's worth mentioning that this issue is only affecting this user. We have hundreds of other users without any issues.

They've setup a number of email forwarders on their account, pointing to external domains. Unfortunately, it seems exim is dropping the mail.

/var/log/exim/mainlog:

2008-06-06 13:18:02 1K4at7-000EGl-AP <= dingham@***.co.uk U=mail P=spam-scanned S=1939 id=48F45F90D4244644A1FE45AC8AE7E5EC@Electron T="testing321" from <dingham@***.co.uk> for test@***.co.uk
2008-06-06 13:18:02 1K4at7-000EGl-AP => discarded <test@***.co.uk> R=domain_filter
2008-06-06 13:18:02 1K4at7-000EGl-AP Completed
2008-06-06 13:18:03 1K4at7-000EGi-2C => test <test@***.co.uk> F=<dingham@***.co.uk> R=spamcheck_director T=spamcheck S=1815
2008-06-06 13:18:03 1K4at7-000EGi-2C Completed

In this case, dingham@***.co.uk is the sender, test@***.co.uk the recipient.
The sender is on an external host, as is where the forwarder should be pointing.

I've had a look through the exim docs & the web in general, however haven't been able to find much information on the nature of "R=domain_filter".
Also, I'm not sure why the mail is continuing to the spam filter, after it's been "discarded" (have I misunderstood that?).

Either way, no mail is being sent from the server (for this users forwards).

Ideas?

Cheers,

Check the contents of the domain filter for the domain ***.co.uk; it's can be found in:

file = /etc/virtual/***.co.uk/filter

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for poiniting that out. I'm afraid there wasn't any offensive material in the file & all mail should have been passed directly to spamassassin.
Having made various test emails (from & with various locations & content), I can confirm that non should have been flagged & non are automaticaly deleted.
