you need to configure a 'router' to catch all outgoing messages.

hello Chris,
thank you for your advice.
I have configured router:
catch_all_outgoing:
driver = redirect
data = centralrecipient@remotehost.com
unseen
but now the messages are sent to both: original recipient and to centralrecipient@remotehost.com
how to send it only to the email specified in the redirect router - centralrecipient@remotehost.com ?
Update: Solved by removing "unseen" from the router

and by the way, what is the difference in T and t rewriting flags?
while t works for me but T always makes exim PANIC.. (when I set tT in rewriting transport).
E rewrite all envelope fields
F rewrite the envelope From field
T rewrite the envelope To field
b rewrite the Bcc: header
c rewrite the Cc: header
f rewrite the From: header
h rewrite all headers
r rewrite the Reply-To: header
s rewrite the Sender: header
t rewrite the To: header

The command word 'unseen' means "continue to process this message with other routers" so removing it should only process your routing instruction.
Exim is a bit of a 'nervous beast' so does 'PANIC' from time to time, in this case it probably is because you have instructed it to rewrite the \envelope-To header twice, Envelope-To is normally written to for message redirection in any case.
Checking /var/log/exim_paniclog should give you more info.

thank you.
by the way, what is the right step-by-step procedure for adding a router in exim? I could not find any such documentation for new users telling which file should be edited first and which steps should be done one by one. What I did (finally successfully) was rather by trial and error (some docs mentioned about /etc/exim.cfg but such file doesn't exist anywhere on newer Debians).
so, I edited:
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template
adding my router below routers section:
catch_all_outgoing:
driver = redirect
data = centralrecipient@remotehost.com
and after that I run:
update-exim4.conf
what caused that router appeared in file:
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated
I also restarted exim4 by:
service exim4 restart
The fun is that creating new router file in /etc/exim4/conf.d/router/ gave no results even after update-exim4.conf so I think this directory is completely ignored by exim4 (at least it didn;t work for me on Debian 8.5 - only change in the config template was considered by the update-exim4.conf
