As documented, REDIRECT affects all recipients. It is meant to yank
mail out of its normal path, and was originally implemented for
emergencies (that is also why the feature is not subject to canonical,
virtual alias, or BCC address mappings, and none of this is properly
documented).
In other words, don't use REDIRECT for routine mail processing.
