This is odd, since it appears to be defied but ignored. Probably you
are not looking at the right file. First, try using the sample mailman
routers and transports that (IIRC) are in the mailman package, or
available online - this is much less overhead than the /etc/aliases
route. If that doesn't work, I would suggest taking your question to
pkg-exim4-users@??? - it is the Debian-specific list
for exim4, and I am sure they will be more help than a list for general,
non OS specific exim issues.

HTH,
