I understand this. Maybe a try to explain by example where is my point:

[root@beast ~]# grep test-bv /etc/aliases
test-bv: darek,alamakota
[root@beast ~]# exim -bv alamakota
alamakota@??? failed to verify:
     Unknown user
[root@beast ~]# exim -bv darek
darek@??? verified
[root@beast ~]# exim -bv test-bv
test-bv@??? verified
[root@beast ~]# exim -v -bv test-bv
test-bv@??? failed to verify:
     Unknown user
darek@???
       <-- test-bv@???
     router = localuser_maildir, transport = ld_maildir


I think in the case of exim -v -bv test-bv last one should be like this:

[root@beast ~]# exim -v -bv test-bv
test-bv@??? failed to verify:
alamakota@???
     Unknown user
darek@???
       <-- test-bv@???
     router = localuser_maildir, transport = ld_maildir


I think information what exactly address failed is very important and
should not be missing with -v.
