Hi

I figured my own system out without reading the exim manual on virtual
domains so I don't know what the official thought is on virtual domains but
this is how I do it:


Because of laziness sake I currently have everything in the .conf file.
Nothing is read out of files except the alias dbs of course.

local_domains = domain1.com:domain2.com:domain3.org:domain4.net

...

then as directors:

system_aliases:
driver = aliasfile,
domains = my.real.domain.com;
file = /etc/aliases,
search_type = lsearch

permaddressforwarder:
driver = aliasfile;
file = /var/spool/exim/${domain}/aliases,
search_type = dbm,
forbid_pipe = true


and I have a directory for each domain inside /var/spool/exim and inside
each directory is a db file called aliases

There are a few instances where this does not work. If I want to forward
to another virtual domain on the same system it sometime returns an error
with "no such local part." I haven't bothered to try and fix it yet as it
is not a problem as yet. One of these days I'll figure it out.
