This is how I would like exim to behave, yes.

I'm assuming that "continues for as long as single children are
generated." would mean through more than one director ? I'm thinking
of the case where foo@??? is aliased (through a virtual domain
director) to fail@??? which is in system_aliases to :fail: -
would this give an immediate failure as I'd expect ?
