Look at my transport. You are missing the / at the end of the
line with:
directory = ${home}/Maildir/
That used to be significant. Also just include the space b4 and after
the = sign even if it's cosmetic. Maybe the parser gets confused.
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
directory = ${home}/Maildir/
create_directory = true
directory_mode = 700
no_from_hack
prefix = ""
suffix = ""
maildir_format
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
group = mail
mode = 0660
That aside, I think you should use something like
exim -d5 -bt some@address to see how real and non-existent addresses
will be handled.

You probably changed the order of the routers. Wait a minute.. you said
you run Exim-3.36. Tssk! That Exim had the concept of directors and
routers. It sucks to remember it. We are talking about directors here..
The alias file should be processed _AFTER_ the local_delivery router.
