I should probably say that more loudly somewhere. Using rewriting as a
tool for determining where a message is going is not the way Exim is
intended to be used. If you rewrite two envelope addresses to the same
thing, Exim will always do just a single delivery. To preserve both
original addresses, you need to do something with a director.
