OK. Turns out that Exim 4 does not use X-Original-To, it uses Envelope-To.

Requires a simple entry into system_filter.exim to add  the X-Original-To 
header to the incoming emails.

I tested an email with a manually added header and that's definitely the 
problem. 

Just sent some tests so I should know in the morning if its working. This 
should also be a test of the peering arrangement for sending to 
alt.anonymous.messages as well.

Report tomorrow!
