That doesn't agree with your description above. Shouldn't you be testing
the recipient, not the sender?

Why bother with this additional test? A straight "else" would do
(unless, of course, the first test is wrong, as I suggested).

What do you mean by "always stays there"? Do you mean it remains on
Exim's queue? Have you tried a test with -d9 to see what it says?
Incidentally, you really ought to make the "mail" command conditional
on "if first_delivery".
