Well, I tried working with that but it turns out that it's simpler just to
have several aliases per list. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as
they're all generated for you automatically so unless you look you needn't
know. We don't use the :include: syntax or outgoing aliases or anything of
that sort, since outbound delivery is done via SMTP.

I came to the following director (or at least, I think that's the proper
terminology):
majordomo_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
user = majordom
domains = lsearch;$config->{lists_dir}/ALIASES/mj-domains
file = $config->{lists_dir}/ALIASES/mj-alias-\${domain}
search_type = lsearch
(Note that this is part of a print statement, so there's some Perl
expansion going on.) Essentially, we maintain a file containing a list of
all virtual domains and one alias file per domain.
I'm not able to test this because I don't have a machine running Exim, but
it seems to make sense according to the documentation I've read through.
