That will be the case if you are doing the "routing" by an alias file.
Exim does de-duplication on aliasing. In the vast majority of cases,
this is what is wanted.

Why do you want duplicates? How does having three copies of the same
thing, end-to-end in the same file, help?

The answer to the question is "don't use aliases". If you make the
routing happen directly for each address, then you'll get the
duplicates.

Did you put that director *before* the aliasing director? And I'm not
sure why I put in that new_address setting. What you seem to want is
something like

xxxx:
driver = smartuser
domains = foo
transport = foo_transport

with the transport being an appendfile that names the file.
