In fact, that is not a valid RFC822 construction at all, either for one
address or several. The string

"user1 user2 user3"@domain

is a valid, single, RFC822 address.

That depends on how Elm is handing the address(es) to Exim. If it is
using the command line, then the command should be

exim user1@domain user2@comain user3@domain

(though comma separators are also acceptable). If it is using an SMTP
interface, then there should be separate RCPT commands for each address.
