Of course! But I was thinking we were talking about the following
situation:
We have a local domain foo.de. So we have users at x@??? and y@???
That´s their local address. And these user have also provider accounts
at e.g. x@??? and y@???. So you would like to add all
the domains as local domains? ... I don´t think thats a sollution!

Hm... Me either!
This sollution might be ok for netscape and other relaying mailprogs,
but what´s up when a user writes his mail with e.g. pine?
If the guy is a local one he would probably only type "to: y"
and pine will expand it to y@???.
Because of sender verifying this (there might be no y@??? in the
outside world) mail get rejected!
I really think exim should do the rewriting for us! So that we
a x@??? (intern) and x@??? (extern) !!!!!
