[Caveat: I am not an expert but an Exim beginner too.]

I believe this is due to the way that -bh can impersonate
an external address (for testing) and that when using an
actual local email process you are being treated as a local
address and passed through the routers and filters.

If I am wrong, hopefully someone will correct me expeditiously.
