Cc: is not parsed by exim at all - it tells the mail client to send an
additional RCPT TO: to exim.

What you have to do instead is to configure your client to bcc user@localhost
whenever the user sends out mail to himself. Or configure exim to send an
additional copy to $local_part@localhost when mail goes out that way.
