Exim doesn't in fact ignore the backslash, but it doesn't behave in the
same way as Sendmail.
If you know that you only ever want one pass through the aliases, that
is, if none of the addresses generated by aliasing are themselves
aliases, you can set the redirect_router option on your aliasing router
to tell Exim where to go next.
If some of our aliases need to be reprocessed as aliases, you'll have to
set up two aliasing routers to handle this.
