Why so complicated? Why two routers?

The problem seems to be that when a message is directed to an alias, each
expansion of the alias is passed down the entire router stack again,
resulting in duplicates for each one. (If I misunderstood this, please
ignore the rest of this email).

You can avoid this by setting redirect_router on all your redirect
routers, setting it to the router after incoming_archiver, like this:

begin routers

outgoing_archiver: ...

incoming_archiver: ...

dnslookup:
# or whatever your next router is

aliases:
     driver = redirect
     data = ${lookup{$local_part}wildlsearch{/etc/exim/domains/$domain}}
     # this is the important part:
     # don't archive redirected emails again!
     redirect_router = dnslookup
     ...


Cheers, Chris.
