Or, if you don't want to keep the conditions matching, and at least one of the
routers is a redirect router, you can add the same address back to the
redirection data:

data = ${lookup whatever}, ${quote_local_part:
$local_part_prefix$local_part$local_part_suffix}@$domain

(Sorry, but I think that's the only way to be sure.)

You also set address_data to something that you use in the condition of that
extra router, instead of copying the actual condition(s). Exim makes sure
that there are no infinite loops by not letting the same router handle the
same address twice.

I don't know if this is less ugly. A "seen_but_continue" option, as suggested,
would be helpful.
