I was playing around with this a little while ago and I came up with this
which pretty much emulates the sendmail configuraion, unfortunately it's for
exim 4 (also on debian/stable) - but it's not hard to build, and it really
is easier to configure.
You may be able to adjust it for v3 though.
== exim.conf ==
domainlist local_domains = /etc/exim/local-host-names
domainlist relay_to_domains = /etc/exim/relay-domains
# In Routers, below the dnslookup router
virtual_user:
driver = redirect
data = ${lookup{$local_part\@$domain}lsearch{/etc/exim/virtusertable}}
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
wildcard:
driver = redirect
data = ${lookup{\@$domain}lsearch{/etc/exim/virtusertable}}
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
