+You might need to use "/usr/sbin/exim4" instead of "/usr/sbin/exim", depending on which version you have installed, and the naming scheme used by your distribution.

This will read an [Email] from stdin(3) and tell you which tests matched, and what would have happened if that message was actually being delivered. You can change ''fromaddress'', ''username'', and ''suffix'' to test specific rules, and you can omit <tt>-bfl</tt> if ''username'' is your own username. If your filter is simple enough that it doesn't use any message headers you can supply an empty message.

+PeterWiersig: The example with the bugs Maildir should be reworked. To my knowledge (and in my exim-setup) you should specify "save $home/Maildir/bugs/" and exim should recognize the trailing slash that it should deliver to a Maildir.
