Well, that shouldn't work, since for [EMAIL PROTECTED] a new message would be
created, which itself is handled by the same router. All mailboxes are on the
same machine. The only difference between an alias and a mailbox is, that an
alias generates new adresses, whereas a mailbox directly stored into a file. If
I would only get the _address_ of the mailbox from the db and give it as data,
a new mail for the same address would be generated, which would result in an
endless loop (I think exim would prevent endless loops, but it wouldn't be
nice, of course).

I do not see any scenario that could lead to problems here. Do you?
