[Pkg-exim4-users] .forward File Location

[Peter Sparkes]

I have found the answer to my own question:
Amend the router 600_exim4-config_userforward by inserting
router_home_directory = /home/$domain/$local_part/Maildir
immediately after check_local_user

and make sure that the owner of home/domain1/user1/Maildir/.forward is user1
