I also found the following error indicated that the local user is not a
local user:
....

--------> dnslookup router <--------
local_part=john domain=mydot.com
checking domains
mydot.com in "localhost:mydot.com"? yes (matched "mydot.com")
mydot.com in "! +local_domains"? no (matched "! +local_domains")
dnslookup router skipped: domains mismatch
--------> system_aliases router <--------
system_aliases router skipped: previously routed john@???
--------> userforward router <--------
local_part=john domain=mydot.com
checking for local user
userforward router skipped: john is not a local user
--------> localuser router <--------

Can anybody tell me how to define local user as a valid local user in exim?
My /etc/aliases look like as below:
john:           john@???
sam.wun:        sam.wun@???


Thanks
Sam
