I'm running Exim 4.0.4 with this "out-of-the-box" System Aliases router:
system_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_fail
allow_defer
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
The aliases file looks as it always has:
bin: root
daemon: root
adm: root
lp: root
sync: root
shutdown: root
halt: root
mail: root
news: root
uucp: root
# Person who should get root's mail
root: juha
[etc]
I was testing a new alias, when I noticed that the router only processes
the first recipient in To:, ignoring all the others.
Here's the debug output:
# exim -d -bt webmaster@??? postmaster@???
root@??? > debug 2>&1

I only get the message to the first recipient, however. I thought it was a
Courier-IMAP problem at first, as the debug output indicates that all
messages were routed, but looking at Exim's main.log, I only see one
instance of delivery:
2002-05-22 10:43:30 17AILq-0000v9-00 <= juha@???
H=den2.saarinen.org [192.168.1.12] P=esmtp S=547

R=localuser T=local_delivery
2002-05-22 10:43:30 17AILq-0000v9-00 Completed
Putting the other addresses in the cc: field has the same effect.
If you have:
alias1: account1
alias2: account2
and put alias1, alias2 as the recipients, the message gets delivered to
account1 and account2 as expected (but not to any further aliases either
account might have).
What am I missing here? Is this a feature?
