Thanks, I found the reason in the debug. :)
While aliases expansion, hostname (hamster.itsinternet.net) was added
to a localpart, and it's different from primary mail domain
(itsinternet.net). So, after routing exim has two addresses:
gul@??? and gul@???, and do two
local deliveries to the gul mailbox. Setting qualify_domain to
itsinternet.net fixes the situation.

But this host has many local domains.
Is there any way for compare only localparts for local addresses
if local transport does not use domain part?
