So the maildrop router will process the mail, not the local_user router.
Maybe I'm not making this clear enough - you are never getting to the
local_user router in this situation, ever.

No, processing begins again at the top for each message - it does not
resume where it left off. As far as exim is concerned, it is a new
message. So, the last line in your maildrop presumably falls through to
the mailspool.

You should have a condition on your spamcheck router already that
handles this, if you've cut-n-pasted the standard snippet.
Again - local_user router never gets reached. Investigate maildrop to
see why your delivery goes to the wrong place. This is not an exim
issue - it is doing what you told it to, and handing the message off to
maildrop.
