Just perusing the documentation for the 'filter' program and noticed
that there are two problems with the examples given:

	1. you'll need to specify what directory the filter program
	 is in for the ".forward" file entry,

	2. there ain't no guarantees that the $HOME in the ".forward"
		file is going to expand correctly either...

Sooo...

	You'll need to change the examples to stuff like:

		"|/usr/local/bin/filter -vl > /users/joe/.filter_errors"

	and it'll have better results.
