No, that is not the Exim definition. "Local" means "on this host",
"remote" means "not on this host". Both kinds of transport can deliver
multiple recipients at a time - see the batch_max setting for local
transports. Equally, I see no problem with a remote transport that only
ever delivers one recipient at a time. Just don't give it a max_rcpt
option.
