Possibly multiple solutions, but one could be using a virtualhost file ...
e.g.
/etc/exim/virtuals/mydomain.net containing
---
nickname john
john othernick
---
[ first] [second]
Will get ya: [first]@mydomain.net, put into local mailbox [second]
router to use:
---
virtualdomains:
driver = redirect
domains = dsearch;/etc/exim/virtuals
data =
${lookup{$local_part}lsearch*@{/etc/exim/virtuals/$domain}}
pipe_transport = address_pipe
no_more
---
bye,
Chris
