The only difference between what you've stated and the system aliases file
is that the system alias file does not include the domain.
Check the Exim specification for information on the "include_domain"
option of the aliasfile driver. An example of such a virtual aliases
director:
virtual_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
file = /etc/aliases.virtual
search_type = lsearch*@
include_domain = true
You could then create a file /etc/aliases.virtual that models this:
user@???: user@???
you@???: guy@???
*@catchall.com: null@???
Or, you can perform a local delivery with:
jag@???: localuser
