Email forwarders send copies to source email

Hello to all One of my customers reported that he receives the same email multiple times. He has set up 4 email forwarders from his email info@domain.tld to A@domain.tld, B@domain.tld... etc (same hosting account) After investigating exim mail logs I noticed that indeed exim regards A,B,... as aliases on info@domain.tld:

2019-06-24 12:11:44 1hfL0p-00022T-6N <= ---emailid---- H=-----sending host------ P=esmtps X=---ciphers---- CV=no S=109472 id=----email-id--- T="......." for info@domain.tld
2019-06-24 12:11:44 1hfL0p-00022T-6N => info  R=virtual_user T=dovecot_virtual_delivery C="250 2.0.0  GKvZEtCTEF2EHQAAhNgn1w Saved"
2019-06-24 12:11:44 1hfL0p-00022T-6N -> A (info@domain.tld)  R=virtual_user T=dovecot_virtual_delivery C="250 2.0.0  GKvZEtCTEF2EHQAAhNgn1w:2 Saved"
2019-06-24 12:11:44 1hfL0p-00022T-6N -> B (info@domain.tld)  R=virtual_user T=dovecot_virtual_delivery C="250 2.0.0  GKvZEtCTEF2EHQAAhNgn1w:3 Saved"
2019-06-24 12:11:44 1hfL0p-00022T-6N -> C (info@domain.tld)  R=virtual_user T=dovecot_virtual_delivery C="250 2.0.0  GKvZEtCTEF2EHQAAhNgn1w:4 Saved"
2019-06-24 12:11:44 1hfL0p-00022T-6N -> D (info@domain.tld)  R=virtual_user T=dovecot_virtual_delivery C="250 2.0.0  GKvZEtCTEF2EHQAAhNgn1w:5 Saved"

valiases file is like below


info@domain.tld: A@domain.tld,B@domain.tld,C@domain.tld,D@domain.tld
*: ":fail: No Such User Here"

Why each forwarder sends a copy to source again?

There was no problem: customer had set up the other accounts at his computer too.... Sorry for the post
