I read through the whole filtering documentation (filter.txt.gz file). So I set
up my .forward file as such:
# Exim filter
# For testing filters, comment out when done
#if error_message then finish endif
# Route vacation message only for personal messages
#if personal then
# mail
# to $reply_address
# subject "Re: $h_subject:"
# file $home/vacation/message
# once $home/vacation/once
# once_repeat 10d
#endif
# Genric mailing list template
#if $header_to: contains "[EMAIL PROTECTED](org)" or
# $header_cc: contains "[EMAIL PROTECTED](org)"
#then
# $home/mail/list-inbox
#endif
# Debian Lists
if $header_to: contains "lists.debian.org" or
$header_cc: contains "lists.debian.org"
then
# Stick the message in hurd-inbox if from debian-hurd list
if $header_to: contains "hurd" or
$header_cc: contains "hurd"
then
save $home/mail/hurd-inbox
endif
else
save $home/mail/debian-inbox
endif
Then I tested it by running '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bf ~/.forward <
~/test-message'
and I got the follwoing output which suggests to me that it didn't work:
Sender taken from "From" line
Sender = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Recipient = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Testing Exim filter file /home/baumannd/.forward
Filter processing ended:
Filtering did not set up a significant delivery.
Normal delivery will occur.
The contents of test-message was:

Without the <'s, I didn't want anyone's mailer to interpret this as another
message ;).
So what is wrong and why doesn't it append the message to
/home/baumannd/mail/debian-inbox? I am stumped. I made sure that filtering was
turned on in
/etc/exim.conf. (Oh btw, I had to backslash some apastrophes in eximconfig
comments or
else perl would choke when running eximconfig).
Please CC back to me as I temporarily removed myself from the list.
Thanks,
Dan
P.S. If anyone wants to know I did get Debian installed using the PCMCIA
minizip drive. I am running woody on it right now. I love debian it kicks
redhat's
sorry ass. apt/dpkg is a dream come true compared to rpm.
