It is in the spec somewhere (I remember looking it up).
If you have a single message going to multiple addresses at a particular
site, exim opens one stmp connection to that site. The first message to
that site gets the =>, subsequence ones on the same tcp connection are
listed as ->
this is normal (and good) behavior. Look at your aliases carefully (run
exim -v -bv to see where it things mail should go).
I strongly suppect that your aliases are not exactly the way that you
want them, but that exim is behaving correctly.
