Thanks :-).

It doesn't go in exim.conf. It goes in your "filter file". Where
that is depends on several things.
First, do you want the filtering to be site-wide? If so then see
the 'message_filter' option in section 11 of spec.txt.
If you want the filtering to be per-user then see sections 24.7
(specifically the 'filter' option) and 50.3 of spect.txt and section 5
of filter.txt. If you're using a configuration generated by
'eximconfig' then use the file ~/.forward and put
# Exim filter
as the first line.
Also check section 47 of spec.txt.

Mutt's folder-hooks can be used to move mail from one folder to
another, but that's not really how it was intended. What you are
looking for is an MDA (Mail Delivery Agent) that allows you to specify
specificy where to deliver each individual message. The default MDA
with exim (and sendmail, and postfix, etc.) puts everything into your
inbox. Procmail, maildrop, and exim are alternate MDAs that let you
specify how to deliver the message on a per-message basis. See above
for how to use exim's filtering capabilities .
