It sounds like it is too late to mention it, but this is commonly done
with Exim's filter files.  If you add the   allow_filter  option to
your userforward router, each of your .forward files can do filtering
in Exim's easy to read format.  (And if you allow local part suffixes,
each of those forward files can likewise be filtered by their own
.forward file.)

For processing script output, I often find that just using the -suffix
trick alone is enough.
