Hmm, may be my explanation was confusing. A message comes in. By means
of acl_smtp_data I do some checking stuff and set a variable, indicating
special or normal message (no messing with address related stuff here).
The first router selects the piping transport if variable says "special"
and ends with 'no_more'.
After thinking about my testing concept, its evident that I'm doing too
much at once - thats's bad practice! First debug ACLs, then - and only
then! - do next testing steps (router, transport, etc.).

Oh yes! Never thought about using conditionals in config. I could
conditionally add a special router following the (possibly failed 1st
one) which routes anything received to my testing account! A very
helpfull hint, Tony.
Exim is a phantastic piece of software, with superb documentation and a
lot of skillfull helping hands around!
Thanks all, I've learned (and going to learn) a lot,
Peter
