Yes. From doc/Exim4.upgrade:
. When an address is being verified, if it is redirected to a single new
address, verification continues with that address. If it is redirected to
more than one address, verification ceases with a success result. (In Exim 3,
this applied only to aliasing, not to forwarding.)
