The local_domains list.

Yes. Rewrite rules are almost never needed in Exim 4.

With the domain_aliases router from the FAQ, add an entry like this to the
virtual domains file:

    oracletc.co.uk    oracletc.co.uk


Then create a file /etc/aliases.d/oracletc.co.uk containing entries like:

    mail:    mail.nedco.co.uk
