The -bt option tests the routers for an address. If any filters are
called *from the routers* they will be run. However, -bt does NOT run
the system filter, which is a different sort of thing.
The system filter is run once per message, at the start of a delivery
attempt. It is not run for each recipient. All the per-address
processing is run via routers.

Try running a real delivery for several recipients with debugging turned
on. That is, something like
exim -d pboucher postmaster
<your message here>
.
You need to be an Exim admin user to use the -d option. You will see
that it runs the system filter once; then it runs the routers separately
for each recipient.
If you want to do something on a per-recipient basis, you have to do it
using routers.
