My virtual aliases work with a a Director that goes above system_aliases:
in main section:
EXIM_DB=/usr/local/exim/db
in Directors:
virtual_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
require_files = EXIM_DB/aliases-$domain
file = EXIM_DB/aliases-$domain
search_type = lsearch*
user = exim
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
This lets you put files called, eg. aliases-wibble.org and aliases-foo.bar
there containing stuff like:
scot: mrfoo@???
*: mrsfoo@???
which sends everything apart from "scot" to mrsfoo, and "scot" to mrfoo.
But Note that this is dangerous if you let normal users edit the file, as
any pipes will run as the Exim user...
Hope that helps
Scot
