on the MX host that handles the redirected address, I forced a 451 by
routing redirect@??? to :defer:
root@host:~# exim4 -bp
0m 801 1TLgkl-0006MD-Ai <lists@???>
external@???
-> the redirect address does not appear anywhere

This is what happens when redirect@??? becomes ok again
uuups, I just found out that the mail is re-sent only to
redirect@???, this is what I expected.
However, the problem persists if both redirect@??? and
external@??? are relayed to the same "next" server, e.g. both
domains have the same MX. In this case, the mail is sent twice
