Just FYI the transport method being used is virtual_localdelivery

Here is its entry in the exim.conf

virtual_localdelivery:
driver = appendfile
create_directory
delivery_date_add
directory_mode = 770
envelope_to_add
directory =
/home/${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}/imap/${d
omain}/${local_part}/Maildir
maildir_format
group = mail
mode = 660
return_path_add
user = "${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}"
quota = ${if
exists{/etc/virtual/${domain}/quota}{${lookup{$local_part}lsearch*{/etc/virt
ual/${domain}/quota}{$value}{0}}}{0}}

If Exim is doing the delivery using a local transport, it should do
multiple copies by default for an appendfile or pipe transport. This can
be changed using batch_max. Check if you have set that by mistake.

If using the smtp transport, check the max_rcpt option.

And note what the OP said about getting the address from To: and Cc:.
Make sure you use envelope_to_add on the transport and use the header
that it adds.
