hi,
i'm on this thing too, right now.
at least i can tell you that it's possible! :)
my configuration is with a mysql server that stores two tables:
- the local domains that exim will accept mails for
- the user accounts (e-mail address -> maildir; smtp-auth passwords)
i have a configuration that at least will take e-mail for the domains/addresses stored in my database. i haven't tried smtp-auth yet. still reading the doc....
if you're interested in the relevant parts of my config (mysql-based), please let me know.
and you should always prefer smtp-auth of mail addresses since the latter can be spoofed without any problem (just take anything like 'webmaster@<domain>' or so), whereay smtp-auth requires a secret password, too.

Betreff: [Exim] Virtual Users / Authorization / Domains
I have three rather pressing questions about exim.
1) How would I create a virtual mailbox - one for a person who doesnt have a user account on my system?
2) My copy of exim is responsible for e-mail going to multiple domains. How can I tell exim which domains users belong to so ericn@??? will work but ericn@??? will return unknown mailbox?
3) In order to be able to send e-mail to other domains, people need to be able to authorize themselves by e-mail address or SMTP authorization. Access by IP is just not an option in this case. How can I create an access list/database of accounts that exim can read from and process using an authenticator, ACL, or whatever?
Ive been trying to get a working setup that meets these requirements for more than a month now and Ive tried sendmail, qmail, and now Im trying exim. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
