Sorry - I forgot it.
It does pipe-d delivery:
local_delivery_cyrus:
driver = pipe
command = /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver \
-m ${substr_1:$local_part_suffix} -- $local_part
user = cyrus
group = mail
return_output
log_output
message_prefix =
message_suffix =

local mailboxes.
Cyrus needs not the emailadress like
user@???
It needs the mailboxname of the user - in my case it would be
u0034
for example.

And I run into trouble.
In the beginning my email to "user@???" will be 'redirected' to
u0034. So far so fine (I hope, it is the correct way to handle emails,
but I believe :-).
In the second run, - it was a redirect - the Database will be asked for
*@domain1.com and answers with another account. But this is not what I
want. I want this only if the user does not exist, but user@???
exists in my system.
Sorry for so many asking, but I am very new to exim. After this day I
understand the basic principles and even quering the database from exim
but not the details :-(.

re-written by what??
"Re-written" ist not exactly what I mean, sorry. Because of the
"redirect" in virtual_mysql: the username is now u0034. What happens if
a mail get bounced after this ?
