OK, so you don't really want to forward it (in which case blakeb would
not receive it), but really distribute or copy it.

Try

blakeb: blakeb,johnk

instead. Mail to blakeb should then be delivered to both blakeb and
johnk. Yes, it looks like a loop... don't worry, exim will sort that out
for you.
