Thank you for your help. After having a look on the exim web site and
delving into FAQs and suchlike I have now come up with a working system.

It was not easy to find a whole sample .forward file though. Everywhere
I could see sample sinippets, like one filter rule, but I was't sure how
to put the whole file together. I didn't realise that each filter
statement starts with elif .... (if for the first) and the whole lot
ends with endif. Now that shows the lack of programmer in me!!!

Thanks again.
