This is exactly the new feature that I was thinking of adding to the
existing "self" options. Then the way exim would work would be to see if
the domain matched local_domains, if not, run the routers; if a router
finds the domain is "self" and its "self" option says "go to directors",
then that is what it would do.

I don't see the advantage of adding that in as a special case - why not
retain the flexibility of letting the routers do it? Then some domains
can be handled differently to others if necessary.

Yes.

That would be most flexible as a generic director/router option, I
suspect.

Already exists. See "include_domain".
