About DNS: it depends. I'm no DNS guru, but it is possible to
set up DNS so the MX record from [whatever].mydomain.com would
point to mail.mydomain.com (or whatever your machine is called).

You can implement this using the "suffix" option. Or, you can
use some complicated rule (maybe in perl (only available in exim
>=2.10)) as the value of the "file" option to the appendfile
transport. But I would rather use the user@???
kind of thing. Yet another possibility is address rewriting.

Suggestions? Forget about sleep.
Yes, and if you have a nice island in the Pacific Ocean for me,
I'll gladly help you to set this particular subdomain up.
Vadik.
