Create a file that lists your domains and their destinations. Mine is
called 'CONFDIR/domain-aliases'. This assumes that user X has email
address x@localdomain.
*.mydomain.com x@localdomain
If you need to construct a domainlist from this file, for use in ACLs or
elsewhere, you can use:
domainlist xyz_domains = partial-lsearch;CONFDIR/domain-aliases
Then put this in your Exim config:
# Router for forwarding mail for certain (sub)domains to a single address
subdomain_route:
driver = redirect
data =
${lookup{$domain}partial-lsearch{CONFDIR/domain-aliases}{$value}fail}
Best regards,
