Oops. Apologies. My mistake. I didn't spot the parenthetical remark. My
only excuse is that I have to try really hard to minimize the time I
spend dealing with the Exim list, as otherwise I wouldn't get anything
else done. But I've done this too often lately. I must read more
carefully before posting.

Guess I need a vacation. That gives me an excuse to tell the list that I
will be away on vacation (and not reading email) next week.

Apologies again. I did not intend at all to be dismissive.

I'm not familiar with the Debian configurations. What did you find
counter-intuitive? As far as vanilla Exim is concerned (as shipped by
me), it doesn't do percent-hack forwarding by default. If you want to
permit it, you have to tell it which of your domains it should do it
for. That seems logical to me, but maybe there's something I've missed?
