hm....maybe i have to explain the structure a little better.

i have to types of mail adresses:

1. local >> mail@??? (has a username and password for pop3
and so on and need space to store mails)
2. virtual >> virtual@??? (has NO username and NO password.
simply redirects to other addresses. has no pop3 access and so on)

exim works like that on my server:

1. mail arrives
2. ---- is the address virtual ? (yes ----- redirect to other address |
no ---- go on to next router)
3. ---- is the address local ? (yes ----- store mail to mailbox | no
---- send a mail delivery error)

the only way for me to fix that error-message is to use the virtual
address also as a local one and delete the incoming mails with a cronjob.
thats no good at all i find.
