Have you ever thought about reading the docs? ;))

But ok, one more time:

put this router after your dnslookup-router

virtual_domains:
driver = redirect
data = ${lookup {$domain} lsearch {/etc/exim/virtualdomains}}

/etc/exim/virtualdomains should look like this

domain1.tld: user1
domain2.tld: user2
domain3.tld: remoteuser@???

domain1.tld would be redirected to local user1, domain2.tld to user2,
domain3.tld to someone else not at your computer.

You either need a qualify_domain that is NOT handled in this file, or
you need to use user1@localhost or something else, so the generated
address is not processed by this router again.
