What you're seeing is Exim's case-insensitive localpart handling.

Are you sure you want Exim to be case sensitive when dealing with
localparts?

If so, consider adding +caseful to the address list you want to be
treated in this way, as per the section of the Specification entitled
"Case of letters in address lists".

E.g.

system_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_fail
allow_defer
data = +caseful : ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
user = mailnull
group = mail
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe

Personally, I think this is a bad idea. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
