It depends on the value. If it is not *either* filter data (i.e. the
data starts with #Exim filter or #Sieve filter) *or* one of "Special
items in redirection lists"
http://docs.exim.org/current/spec_html/index.html#toc0210 it is simply
interpreted as a list of addresses. These addreses are the handled by
the routers.

You will need to use a manualroute router to tell exim that the
address user@domain is handled by 1.2.3.4, instead of using redirect.
