I enabled all_parents, and it shows the full address, but only when
there is an alias. I still cannot differentiate between
james@??? and james@??? where neither is an alias and
both deliver locally (through dovecot-lda).

My local_delivery transport is piping through dovecot-lda to keep the
dovecot index up to date and to run through the dovecot managed sieve
rules. However, exim still sees it as a local delivery, or that the
domain is in local_domains, and insists on only showing the local_part.
