As with many questions asked on this list, the answer is in several places in the docs. If you look back at the high-level overview you'll find: http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch03.html http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch03.html#SECTprocaddress "When it generates one or more new addresses from the original, each of them is routed independently from the start." http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch03.html#SECTrunindrou "Any child addresses generated by the router are processed independently, starting with the first router by default." http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch03.html#SECID18 "Alternatively, the router may generate one or more new addresses (typically from alias, forward, or filter files). New addresses are fed back into this process from the top, but in order to avoid loops, a router ignores any address which has an identically-named ancestor that was processed by itself." I know that this meta-subject has come up endlessly, but there are a good number of people subscribed to this list who spend ages searching before posting. Exim has almost perfect documentation when compared to many F/OSS projects (mainly due to Philip's other-worldly diligence). If you spend some time familiarising yourself with it (that's a singular "you" as well as a collective one) then you will avoid the repetition of comments you find so offensive. I do hope you'll start to make something of an effort. Many subscribers will appreciate it, since you clearly have a great deal of time to spend "doing Exim stuff" and you're full of ideas.
