Chapter 33 covers this. The form you have used (lookup for the local
part, non-lookup for the domain) is not supported. Indeed what you have
written doesn't seem sensible, as you are going to rewrite a local part
*whatever* the domain - surely you don't want to mess with local parts
in foreign domains that just happen to be the same as yours?
I suspect you might be better off writing it like this:
*@domain1 ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/usr/exim/user.$domain}{$value}fail}
repeated for each domain, if there are a few of them (or maybe even
using *@*.nyuhs.net if that can be used to match all the domains) or
matching the domain with
*@lsearch;/usr/exim/domains.to.be.rewritten
if there are a large number of them (in which case dbm would be faster
than lsearch in any case).
