|
| mylocalalias: localuser1,localuser2,remote@???,localuser3
| *: localuser1
|
| And mail will be delivered to all the local and remote addresses and
| everything else will be dropped in the localuser1 mailbox.
|

| assume that - flexible as exim is - I can also get the behaviour I have with
| a MySQL setup
|

|
| Assuming I could create a MySQL table which can contain several local users
| and several remote users for the same alias. Would it be wise to create
| single records for each local / remote user for the same alias? Or just put
| everything in one record? Or split the record in a localusers part and a
| remote user part and use different routers for them?
|

I do this with Vexim (
http://silverwraith.com/vexim) quite easily.
