The docs for Exim (3.35) seem to suggest that Exim can filter on
arbitrary headers, specified as $header_<name>: When writing a filter
to save as spam all non-list mail not To: or Cc: me personally,
however, I found it seemed to ignore certain "non-standard" headers
(unfortunately, I can't remember which). Have I missed something in
the docs (which are a quarter of the size of the Bible) or is this a
bug?
