They don't really apply since Nigel guessed correctly that you were
talking about email routing inside of Exim.

TL;DR: Add headers in the router that does the forwarding so that they
get added each time it forwards.

It does clarify things greatly. Those "redirects" are what we
typically call "forwarders". You want some evidence of the chain of
redirects from addr1 -> addr2 -> addr3. That can be done, but it
depends how your routers are configured.

Looking only at the applicable routers, my routers are configured like this:

dnslookup_forwarder:
driver = dnslookup
domains = !+local_domains
transport = remote_smtp_forwarder
<snip>

virtual_forwarder:
driver = redirect
data = LOOKUP_FORWARDER_ADDRESSES
headers_add = Resent-From: $local_part@$domain
headers_add = Resent-To: LOOKUP_FORWARDER_ADDRESSES
headers_add = Resent-Date: $tod_full
<snip>

virtual_mailbox:
driver = redirect
data = LOOKUP_LOCAL_MAILDIR
directory_transport = address_directory


Then there are the two transports referenced above:

remote_smtp_forwarder:
driver = smtp

address_directory:
driver = appendfile
maildir_format
maildir_use_size_file
maildir_tag = ,S=$message_size
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
user = MAIL_UID
group = MAIL_GID
quota = QUOTA_LOOKUP
quota_size_regex = ,S=(\d+)
quota_is_inclusive = false
quota_warn_threshold = 85%


In the following explanation, we are already at the point where the
email has been received, it has passed reputation, spam, and virus
scanning, and control is now being passed to the routers. For this
example, all 3 domains are in +local_domains, because +local_domains
is a SQL query that extracts information from a database.

1. When an email comes in to "addr1", it starts at the top of the
routers and tests each one until it finds one that matches. It skips
the first one because domain1.com is in +local_domains. It matches
the second router though because addr1 is forwarded to addr2. I add 3
Resent-* headers which detail the first address getting forwarded to
the second address.

2. Now that the "redirect" has occurred, Exim starts over at the top
of the routers. It again skips the first one because domain2.com is
in +local_domains. It matches the second router (again) because addr2
is forwarded to addr3. I add 3 more Resent-* headers which detail the
second address getting forwarded to the third address.

3. Now that the "redirect" has occurred (again), Exim starts over at
the top of the routers. It again skips the first one because
domain3.com is in +local_domains. It skips the second router because
addr3 is not configured as a forwarder. It matches the third router
because addr3 is in the database as a mailbox. The "data" field is
set to the full path of the user's Maildir/ and the router calls the
transport "address_directory" to actually deliver the mail to the
local mailbox.

When you look at the delivered mail, there should be two sets of
Resent-* headers: three for the first forward, and three for the
second. It might initially be confusing to look at, but once you
parse it mentally, it will be just like reading a map.


Note: there are other routers before, during, and after the ones that
I showed above. I omitted them to simplify reading so the flow from
top to bottom could be easily understood. There are also other
settings in each router that I omitted because it was irrelevant to
the flow of the email through the routers.
