So my archiving routers are such:

When you say it duplicates them, do you mean that they appear once in
outgoing_local_copy and once in incoming_local_copy, or do they appear
multiple times in outgoing_local_copy?
I read the manual on redirect_router and it seems apropos but I can't
see where to put it.
In all of your routers which have "driver = redirect".
actually, reading your message again I may be beginning to see the
light. If I put the redirect router at the top of my routers or at
least before the outgoing_archiver router, it's checking to see if the
message is directed at an alias and if it is then skip the
outgoing_archiver.
No, if you put all your redirect routers (driver = redirect) before the
archivers, then you will get a copy of the message for every address
resulting from alias expansion, which is more or less the same as you're
seeing now.
The aim of adding redirect_router to your redirecting routers is to skip
passing through outgoing_archiver and incoming_archiver a second time for
each expanded alias, as you are seeing now. You can do this by telling
these routers that after redirection, they should start processing the
expanded addresses with the router after incoming_archiver, instead of at
the top.
aliases:
driver = redirect
data =
${lookup{$local_part}wildlsearch{/etc/exim/domains/$domain}}
condition =
$(lookup($sender_domain}wildlsearch{/etc/userdomains}}
# this is the important part:
# don't archive redirected emails again!
redirect_router = dnslookup
Is that sane?
Kinda. The condition should evaluate to true or false, not a lookup. But I
don't think you even need to add it. Just add "redirect_router =
dnslookup" (assuming that dnslookup is the router immediately after
incoming_archiver) to all your redirecting routers.
Cheers, Chris.
