I believe that I already posted two ways of doing that:
(1) Use new_director in Exim 3 or redirect_router in Exim 4 to prevent
re-aliasing, or, if you can't do that (because you want re-aliasing for
some entries),
(2) Ensure that whatever * aliases to is also in the alias file.

It would certainly add @localhost to unqualified user names. Whether
this would ruin other things depends on the rest of your configuration.

You can use "exim -C /test/config -bt address" to make experiments. Add
-d (or -d9 for Exim 3) for debugging information. Check out the manual
for those options.
