I have a similar setup, and thanks to folks from this list, it's
now working quite well. I have (in /usr/locla/etc/exim/configure):
domainlist local_domains = "server.host.domain :\
dbm;/usr/local/etc/exim/domains.dbm"
And in /usr/local/etc/exim/domain1.org:
user1: user_a (local user account)
user2: user_a
user3: other@???
*: :fail: The user "$original_local_part" does not exist
at "$original_domain"
So, if I do:
# exim -bt user1@???, I get
user_a@???
<---------- user1@???
router = localuser, transport = local_delivery
And if I try an undefined address from domain1.org, I get:
# exim -bt nonuser@???
nonuser@??? is undeliverable
The user "nonuser" does not exist at "domain1.org"
The alias files are very flexible, you can do things like:
user_w: addr@??? # You can forward mail for a user
user_x: "|/path/to/some/script" # You can use pipes
user_y: :fail: No user "user" here!
user_z: :blackhole:
*: user_a
