It won't work if a message has recipients both in your domain and
outside your domain. The internal recipient will get a message with a
rewritten sender.

$received_for is set when there is ONE recipient only.

Exim has just one copy of a message. If it has both internal and
external recipients, the same copy of the message cannot be used for
both of them, if you want to have different sender addresses. That is
why the message has to be split into two different messages if you want
to do this.
