You should be aware that the processing of the filtering instructions
does not stop once some action has been performed.

When you send a message
To: incel@???, incelot@???
Exim will first route the message to incel@??? and then to
incelot@???.
When it routes to incel@??? it will see that To: contains
incel@??? and pipe it to dbcron.pl 18. It doesn't stop here.
It goes on and sees incelot@??? in To:. So it pipes it do
dbcron.pl 5 as well. So, both 18 and 5 recieved a copy here.
The same happens when delivering the message to incelot@???.
You should use "$local_part" instead of $header_to:. $header_to: will
not change, but $local_part will be "incel" or "incelot" depending on
which address the message is being routed to.
You should also use "finish" after you pipe the mail. E.g.
if $header_to: contains "incel@???" and
$header_content-type: contains "boundary"
then
pipe "/home/incel/www/mailgust/dbcron.pl 18"
finish
# ^^^^^^ <- the above will stop processing of the filter instructions
endif
