Uhhhh, right. I see that README.Debian says: If you insist on using /etc/aliases in the traditional way, you will need to activate the respective functions by setting the transport options on the system_aliases router appropriately. Macros are defined to make this easier. See /etc/exim4/conf.d/router/400_exim4-config_system_aliases for information about which macros are available. You might find the address_file, address_pipe and/or address_directory transports that are used for the userforward router helpful in writing your own transports for use in the system_aliases router. Can I request that a debconf question be introduced (low priority if you must) to make this more automatic ? This lack-of-feature is very surprising to traditional Unix administrators and it would be nice to make it easy to turn on. If you agree I may see if I can provide a patch.
