Subject: [Exim] Error in FAQ
Just looking athe the FAQ on www.exim.org ans I found this error.
include_domains should be include_domain


Q0405: On a host that accepts mail for several domains, do I have to use
fully qualified names in /etc/aliases or do I have to set up an alias
file for each domain?

A0405: You can do it either way. If you use a single file, you must set
include_domains on the aliasfile director. If you use a separate file
for each domain you can use a single director with an option such as

         file = /etc/aliases/$domain


(as in C007), or you can have several different directors, each one with

         domains = domain1:domain2:...


so that each one processes certain domains only. That way you could have
several domains sharing an alias file. All of this assumes that you want
have different aliases for each domain. If all the domain names are in
effect just synonyms, you don't need to do anything other than ensure
they all match something in local_domains.
