One solution to this is to do the defaulting in the virtual director,
instead of having a separate director. You can do this by using the
lsearch* lookup type. Then you can put the default into the alias
files, and add no_more to the director.
But, which version of Exim are you using? I have just tested smartuser
with no_more and a lookup with "fail", like your virtual_smart user, and
it works fine. If the lookup fails, the director does not pass the
address on to the next director.
Aha! I can see how your problem might happen. Maybe you have a different
set of domains in /etc/exim.virtual-domains and /etc/exim.virtual_smart?
So the virtual_smart director doesn't even run for some of the domains?
The only way round that is to ensure that the virtual_smart always runs
for the same domains as virtual.
