Thanks for your help.
Below is my administrator`s comments (i`m the hosting reseller on his
server):

"I think the problem with this method is that it sends a copy of every
email, not just the email of the single domain."

"The more I have looked and tested, this will not be possible on a
cpanel server without some kind of custom script."

"We would not want to make this a global change to exim on the server.
As with each cpanel upgrade, it would be overwrote."

Would you please help us setting this feature on the server with
CPanel and Exim on board? There are a couple of resellers and dozens of
clients` accounts. Very appreciate my admin`s interesting and help but
still looking for a chance to solve this issue.

Do we need to change exim`s config to proceed with duplicating
outgoing emails? My admin would refuse proceed this way. Any chance
for preparing external script .forward-like?

Thanks for your interesting.
