I retried it (3 times; used different addresses, etc, etc) and got the same

Ah, oh, so we could hit a problem there then? The headers_add/remove we may
be able to get around (if necessary with Exim 4) by configuring things a bit
differently. However, and I'm sorry to drag this up again, we have had to
make use of the 'one_time' option in order for 'hold_domains' to work. In
effect our site is a big virtual domain called 'plymouth.ac.uk' and the mail
gets redirected (via aliasing) to file servers. We need to be able to
specify specific file servers to be held. However, without one_time, the
only local domain that we can hold is the one in the original address which
is 'plymouth.ac.uk'.
Needless to say, we'll have to wait and see how Exim 4 develops, but I don't
think any of this is going to be a show-stopper for us :-)
