It works exactly as you set: any mail to <*@bbb.domain.com> is routed
to <useraaa@???>. Article mentions this behaviour as intended.

If you do not understand what happens, run Exim with "-d+route" debugging
option and trace all conversions of the recipient address, step by step.

As for local aliases, the output show that "system_aliases" router
does NOT change incoming address, probably because address is not catched
by router's conditions.
