You may be expecting it to do something it does not. See below.

ACK. That is what routers DO. One might call them 'discriminators'

ACK. Always.

You are just getting into the 'power' of Exim.

What you need is to make whatever is fed to the routers 'identifiable'
so that it triggers the one router you want to handle it, and no other,

- unless that 'other' is part of a deliberate set of two or more that
are chained with:

(pretend that this item is) 'unseen' (by any previous router).

IOW: 'continue' rather than 'exit the router-walk'

This is why you want to either (both..)

A) do the initial 'qualifying' in acl's.

EG: adding tags or flags in acl_m's or X-headers to make the conditional
tests in a router amenable to 'unique' but simple triggering.

AND/OR/ELSE

B) use finer-grain more specific conditionals in the routers themselves.

EG: test for more than one match in a given conditional.

In your case look for BOTH a domain AND a user-within-that-domain match,
or presence in a list or DB for those needing 'special handling'. Exim's
conditionals can be astonishingly complex IF that is what is needed to
accomplish a task.

THEN use 'unseen' only if you need to archive, quarantine, or otherwise
make two or more deliveries of the one message that 'fits' the conditional.

HTH,
