Sincere apologies - I can only think I forgot to send a hangup signal
to Exim after I'd made the changes you suggested.

I concur - I was under the false impression that the output of
exim -bP +local_domains should be populated with the expanded list
of local domains, such as:

domainlist local_domains = @ : example1.com : example2.com

I was too busy trying to make it hard... either that or I have an
unhealthy fixation with perl glue.

Many thanks,
