I have figured this out - for the benefit of others searching on the subject these are the bits I had to put in.
- add the wildcard domains to the /etc/localdomains file
- in exim.conf change the lsearch to wildlsearch where it references the above file.
Now it should be delivering mail - I added the following to pipe mail to a script for further manipulation
# in routers
catch_subs:
driver = accept
domains = *.mysite.com
transport = pipesubmail
# in transport
pipesubmail:
driver = pipe
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
group = mail
user = me
command = /usr/bin/php /home/ /mailproc.php
works like a charm.
Cheers,
Simon

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the reply.
- I am sure that I want to deliver this mail, it is for a specific purpose.
- mx records are already in place for *.mysite.com and I have verified that they are correct.
- I have had a look at the rewriting options and this will not help me - I need the address to remain intact.
- I have full root access to my server so there is no problem with changing config files.
Basically I need the box to take local delivery of mail to subdomains - it would even be useful to know how to do it for a fixed subdomain and then I can take it further to figure out how the wildcard slots in.
Regards,
Simon.

You're sure you want to do this? Isn't anything addressed to me@??? going to be spam? There's no reason that it should even be delivered to your mailserver, unless you've published an MX record for anything.mysite.com, but why would you do this for a domain that you aren't using for email.
If you do want to do it, then you should probably set up rewriting for
*@*.mysite.com $1@??? ST
Or something like that. Check chapter 31 of the documentation
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-address_rewriting.html
I don't use WHM, so I'm not sure how you get to edit the config file, but their web site suggests to me that you'll want the advanced editor.
