One issue I found was that I wasn't able to query the whole forest using port 389. I needed to use port 3268 (GC). If you're having problems, there's a high chance you haven't got the DN correct. Use adsiedit to check (found in the Windows Support Tools). More information can be found at http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/MsExchangeAddressVerification.

+
+There is a macro defined for the file_transport router, but its unset by default. To allow this behaivour, add to the bottom of your /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/02_exim4-config_options.rul:
+<verbatim>
+# allow writing to files in system aliases (potentially bad!)
+.ifndef SYSTEM_ALIASES_FILE_TRANSPORT
+SYSTEM_ALIASES_FILE_TRANSPORT = address_file
+.endif
+</verbatim>

+A better answer is changing the destination using the [redirect router alias|http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.62/doc/html/spec_html/ch22.html#SECTspecitredli] <tt>:blackhole:</tt>.
