Rewriting is done for *all* messages as they are received. At that time,
Exim doesn't know if it's for local delivery or not. Indeed, if there
are several addresses it might be for local delivery and remote
delivery.
However, you can control what is rewritten by setting various flags. It
looks to me as though you should add the flags Ff to your rewriting
rule. It will then apply only to envelope sender fields and From:
headers. Leaving the evelope "to" field alone will ensure that web@xxx
will get delivered locally.
