The way I personally prefer for small installations is....
- Use a directory /etc/exim/domains
- add one file per local domain
edit your local_domains to this
domainlist local_domains = localhost : dsearch;/etc/exim/domains
add a router like this one
virtual_aliases:
driver = redirect
domains = dsearch;/etc/exim/domains
data = ${lookup {$local_part} lsearch* \
{/etc/exim/domains/$domain}{$value}fail}
when every entry in your current virtuals maps to a system-account, then
make /etc/exim/domains/$domain look like this
*:catch_all_user
user1: domain1_user1
user2: domain2_user2
IMHO this is very easy to manage. But the final solution depends on your
needs ;)

No, it's not needed, exim opens the file when needed.
