That is true, if the router generates more than one address. It
shouldn't be the case if the router generates just one address.
In other words, an alias to one address is treated as a true alias, and
the result is verified; an alias to multiple addresses is treated as a
mini mailing list, and the fact that the list exists is taken as enough
verification.

Aha! Two generated addresses. That's consistent with what is supposed to
happen.

That's getting too complicated, basically...

Not at all well. Though I guess (at some cost) you can always call "exim
-bt" from within local_scan...
