Yes. This is the intended. If original rcpt was a "list", that is an alias with
multiple recipients (real accounts only, no recursive aliases), then never
send autoreplies from the backend "account", only from the "list" if it has
a autoreply configured.

If the original rcpt is instead an "alias", that is in my case a alias with a
single recipient, then only send autoreply from the final account if no
autoreply was sent from the alias...

For the logic here, I need access to the "tree" of recipients, and some
way to set a variable in routers (can perhaps be done from ${acl.. but
is this stored?
