The output of `exim -bt postmaster` shows that Exim recursively tries to
lookup for an alias (have a look at the "comments" I put in) and finally
finds *:peter, regardless of the fact that root is a Linux user account and
not an alias:
# exim -bt postmaster
R: system_aliases for postmaster@???

R: long_aliases for root@???
