Patrick, thanks for pointing that out, I was just getting tmda-ofmipd
working, but that was very easy to within exim instead. I have two
things to add/question.

1) In order to filter mail before tmda gets it, I found it useful to 
add an extra router like 

eximfilter:
  driver=redirect
  check_local_user
  file=$home/.eximfilter
  no_verify
  no_expn
  check_ancestor
  allow_filter
  file_transport = address_file
  pipe_transport = address_pipe
  reply_transport = address_reply
  condition = ${if exists{$home/.eximfilter} {yes} {no} }

before the tmdaprocess router for incoming mail.
Then mailing lists, etc, can be sorted out by putting the appropriate
lines in a file ".eximfilter"

2) I'm not sure I completely understand the security implications of
your setup, especially in conjunction with untrusted_set_sender=true.
Doesn't this let anyone (who can connect to the server) run my TMDA
filters?  Is there an implicit assumption of authentication, even for 
users on the local machine?


All the best, 

David
