Don't recall where I saw this, but I do this now using Exim 3.22 on a
potato box (minus the perl) by creating the following directories in /etc:
/etc/aliases (directory)
/etc/aliases/domain1.com (directory)
/etc/aliases/domain2.com (directory)
each domain#.com directory contains an aliases file
Then in exim, configure as follows:
local_domains = localhost:domain1.com:domain2.com
I routinely point the users for domain2 to external addresses right in the
alias file.
I'll admit, dpkg doesn't appreciate this very much, as post-installation
scripts sometimes error out when they try to update the aliases file and
find a directory. I'd like a cleaner method, but otherwise this works quite
well. No other needed changes to configuration come to mind.
