I just recently changed from smail+fetchmail+procmail to
exim+fetchmail+exim-filters. Seems to work fine. Check
http://www.exim.org for online docs. For exim filters your .forward
becomes your filter file. This is mine, it is my first go at getting
it setup so it may not be pretty, but it works. You have to have the
'# Exim filter' on the first line of the file.
# Exim filter
