Ok, here's what happens (the relevant parts):
Exim version 2.054 debug level 9 uid=1733 gid=6
probably Berkeley DB version 1.8x (compatibility mode)
...
search_open: dbm "/cs/exim/db/nicknames"
search_find: file="/cs/exim/db/nicknames"
key="postmaster" partial=-1
LRU list:
1/cs/exim/db/nicknames
1/cs/exim/db/hujihosts
1/cs/exim/db/subdomains
1/etc/aliases
End
internal_search_find: file="/cs/exim/db/nicknames"
type=dbm key="postmaster"
file lookup required for postmaster
in /cs/exim/db/nicknames
lookup yielded: CS HUJI Postmaster
match_check_string regex: chain=1122676 cache=1074432 s=postmaster@???
search_open: dbm "/etc/aliases"
cached open
search_find: file="/etc/aliases"
key="postmaster" partial=-1
LRU list:
1/etc/aliases
1/cs/exim/db/nicknames
1/cs/exim/db/hujihosts
1/cs/exim/db/subdomains
End
internal_search_find: file="/etc/aliases"
type=dbm key="postmaster"
cached data used for lookup of postmaster
in /etc/aliases
lookup yielded: "|/usr/local/bin/postmaster postgrp"
"postmaster@???" rewritten as "postmaster@???"
The /etc/aliases lookup is from:
^((real-|vacation-)?([^@-]+)(-[^@-]+)*)@CS_DOM$ $1@${lookup{${lc:$3}}dbm{/etc/aliases}{cs}{${lookup{${lc:$3}:institute}dbm{/cs/exim/db/csinfo}{$value}{cs}}}}.HU

(the re-write rule which is located after the one in question).
But this rule has no "w" flag, so I don't think it should affect
this.
Hmm, it seems to me now that it doesn't work with real delivery,
either... I think it's because I triggered the real delivery by
telnetting to port 25, which gave me the daemon which was there
_before_ I sughupped it (but after I edited the config file).
This rule was broken down to two some time ago because of this
problem.

It was state of the art, he said.
The art in this case was probably pottery.
