Crap. I am very sorry. I took something that worked for me for other
stuff and showed how to extend it to max_rcpt without actually checking
to confirm that max_rcpt is an expanded option. Some settings in Exim
have to be given literally and are not expanded. I wasted your time
with that option.

The other option, with two Routers, will work. Or one router which uses
two different transports. The "transport" option is expanded. *sigh*

Non-expanded options have their values checked at syntax time, so some
core bits can be sanity-checked early. With the way that Exim has
grown, with so much that can be configured, I'm not sure that decision
still makes sense today.
