--- Comment #22 from Alex Presland <exim@???> ---
I've now successfully reproduced the mails being dropped without delivery using
a new "spamcatcher2" account. The .forward for this account is very simply:
==== START .forward for spamcatcher2 user ====
# exim filter
logfile $home/logs/eximfilter.log
### Just in case I've cocked up - temporary! ###
unseen save $home/Maildir/.testing_archive/
deliver filtered-$original_local_part@$original_domain
logwrite "$tod_log / $header_X-Spam-Relay-Country / Normal / For:
$original_local_part / $original_domain / From: $header_from /
$header_subject\n"
finish
==== END .forward for spamcatcher2 user ====
(obviously, without the lines beginning '===='!)
My mailq logging (same as before) shows:

The spamcatcher2 account's log file showed the logs for the 4 destinations at
the email submission times (00:17:48 and 00:18:18).
The /var/log/exim4/mainlog showed the emails being submitted and deferred. It
then showed the mails being completed with no further deliveries attempted:
2016-04-07 00:27:45 Start queue run: pid=29981
2016-04-07 00:27:45 1anwiH-0007Hy-Tf Completed
2016-04-07 00:27:45 1anwho-0007G1-Dq Completed
2016-04-07 00:27:45 End queue run: pid=29981
Exactly the same behaviour as before, but with a much simpler .forward file.
I'd therefore describe the bug as follows:
"If an email is sent in to multiple email aliases where the alias file routes
those email addresses through the spamcatcher2 account, deferred deliveries
will not be re-attempted if another delivery has been completed (as denoted by
a 'D' in the mailq)."
Please let me know if you need any more information, or whether I can run exim
in a full debug mode to capture more data for you.
