Is that seen as 'multiple recipients' on initial presentation to Exim? The expansion could (should?) occur later, so 'not necessarily'. w/r Mailing Lists - to the extent that an MLM is intelligently configured, any 'proper' bounces should come back in a format that the MTA simply hands-off to the MLM for handling. Nothing is without some downside, but so long as spammers do what all too many of them do, limiting bounces to a single recipient still seems to do more good than harm.
