Well, yeah, that's possible. But for a small number of domains, probably not
worth it :-)

Yup.

To test expansion, use "-be". For example,
exim -be '${lookup{root}lsearch{/etc/passwd}}'
or whatever. Process context plays a part, of course - your lookup may work
with "-be" but not when "live" because of permissions errors, etc.
Testing a config file is usually done with "-bt" or "-bv" (for routing),
"-bhc" (for ACLs). Since you're testing neither, it's a bit more complicated.
