Subject: [exim] virtual users, multiple domains, and multiple usernames

Hey,

I recently switched from sendmail. I have set up exim in using virtual
domains added by a control panel. I have everything working except from
what I've noticed, exim checks for 'local users" before it checks for
"virtual users".

in sendmail, i was able to use virtual data (virtusertable) to send email
out simply by adding them to the list. Then sendmail would check the email
based on virtual users first and then local users. exim seems to be checking
for local users and if there is a local user, it will send it to them with
out looking to virtual users

Basically i have mydomain.com added to exim's 'domains' file which counts
for local-domains
and relays in /etc/virtual/mydomain.com/aliases i have an entry for
someone@???:
someoneelse@???. When i send an email to
someone@??? I would think exim would forward it to
someoneelse@??? but it doesnt and its just sending it to
a local user

So my guess is that exim is basically checking for local users first and
then virutal users second. Is there a way to change this so
"user@???" and "user@???" can still be forwarded to
seperate people even if there domain is local to the mailserver?

Also, if anyone has some sample configurations I could use that work with
exim4, please send :)
I can send you all my current config if you have ideas or suggestions.

Thanks in advanced!
