In Exim, user filters are kind of intelligent forwards. You need a redirect router that processes the mail, and may generate new addresses (or none, if the mail should be discarded). You can store the script in your DB and use the "data" statement of the redirect router with a MySQL lookup to retrieve it. Don't forget to set "allow_filter", and to define transports for files, if the script should be able to file mails. I use this at home: localuser_verify: driver = accept domains = +userdomains local_part_suffix = "-*" local_part_suffix_optional check_local_user require_files = $home/.forward verify_only = true localuser_deliver: driver = redirect domains = +userdomains local_part_suffix = "-*" local_part_suffix_optional check_local_user require_files = $home/.forward file = $home/.forward check_ancestor allow_filter file_transport = localuser # no verify, because checks would be done with SMTP privileges verify = false Instead of retrieving the filter by "data", Exim takes it from "file", that's why I have two routers. With filters in MySQL, you don't need that. In the above setup, not using a ".forward" file expresses the desire not to get any mail.
