OK - but I don't think you really need it...

This is simple in Exim, too - and doesn't need a 'virtual domain' setup.

In a default Exim4 config, set the local_domains domainlist to the list of
domains for which you're accepting mail (domainlist local_domains = s.org
: k.com : t.com), and it will magically do what you want.

If your config isn't standard, consider moving to one which is (the
default config from the Exim 4 distribution).
