Yes, ultimately. But what happens first is that the Exim that is running
the filter (Exim 1) submits the new message to a different incarnation of
Exim (Exim 2). So from Exim 1's point of view, it is "delivering" the
first message by creating the second. For convenience (to save having to
invent a new type of driver), this creation is done by a transport - the
autoreply transport. Exim 2 then receives the new message and delivers
it as normal.

That's a typo. It should read "mail command".
