According to the Exim 4.10 documentation for the redirect router, an
unqualified redirection address prefixed with '\' will get qualified to
the original address domain, even when qualify_preserve_domain is not
set on the router:

> If an item begins with ``\'' and the rest of the item parses as a

However, when I have something like:

a:    somelocalpart@somedomain
b:    \a


in an aliasfile, and qualify_preserve_domain is not set, Exim qualifies
it to the setting of qualify_domain.

I can't find any support for this in the Exim sourcecode, so I think
this is either a bug in the documentation, or a missing Exim feature,
depending on how you look at it. ;) Probably a leftover from Exim 3?
