to clear thinks up, the database has several lines for several types of
mailadresses:

autoresponder
mailboxes of type pop3 and imap
forwarder
aso.

if you do a

select target,type from mail_config where address="example@???"

i may return several lines of hits.

I thought, that one responder should only handle one type ( or two
similar types like imap/pop3 ) at once.

ATM, the sort order of the routers in the config file decides which one
of those i mentioned above work.
The first one wins.

If the first ( userforward) one does not have a match, exim takes the
next one, in this case the "virtual_user"
If it has a match, it finishes and does not consider the next router in
chain.

And thats my problem, as i know a config i used on an old server ( which
is no longer available ) worked and used "redirect_router =
firstroutername " to return to the start of the router chain and start
over as long as new targets were generated by the routers.

somthing like this :

do  {
         try autoresponder;
         try userforward;
         try virtual_user;
} while ( havenewtargets() )


I also thought about the option to create a single router with all types
build in, but that may be very complicate as of the different routing
options used for each type.
