I did say that it appeared that Debian had changed the
received_header_text option (because it had the word "Debian" in it).
You can change it back to the default if you want.

Ah! You want a different header for each recipient. You can't have a
different Received: header for every recipient, at least not the one
that Exim generates automatically. However, you can stick
headers_add = anything you like
on your aliasfile director, which will add a header line as the address
goes through. So you could put
headers_add = "X-Alias-Was: $local_part"
for example. You *could* even stuff in a non-standard Received: if you
wanted to be confusing.

Aha! It always helps to state the *real* problem. envelope_to_add will
record the envelope for you.
