We have about 10 domains here, about 4 or 5 are active with mail, some
are just for websites, but any accounts that have been created on the
Cobalt for other daomins is just then forwarded to our primary domain
(our primary is @cbcr3.com). This is done through a series of symbolic
links, aliases, and virtusertable. My thoughts are that using Exim, I
would just either have the domains be dropped/ignored (derrick@???
and derrick@??? end up in /var/spool/mail/derrick) OR just
create lookup tables/files (/usr/exim/domains/120seconds.com/users or
something to restrict the incoming mail to just those with allowed, and
to have multiple addresses for different domains, i.e. info@???
and info@???) and have an alias to the allowed accounts to
the @cbcr3.com accounts. Any thoughts?

I have used Exim for about 4 years now, fairly simple configs on a few
servers, so I am fairly familiar with basic functionality.. I will
probably have a question or two for the list; this list rocks as there
is a great number of knowledgeable and HELPFUL people, which is rare
these days. :)

Thanks Vadim.
