My opinion is that you want to write your exim.conf from scratch
instead of trying to coerce the general Debian/Ubuntu one into doing
what you want. In theory it should have a very simple structure for
routers:
- a router that matches just help@??? and runs it through your
processing
- a router that sends everything @domain.com off to the Exchange machines
- a dnslookup router to handle outside domains (you need this to at least
verify incoming MAIL FROMs)
Add some SMTP ACLs, a couple of transports, some global settings
(eg that your default domain is domain.com), maybe redirect
'root@<thishost>' off to some other @domain.com address, and some retry
rules and you're done.
While Exim configuration may look scary, it is honestly not that
difficult to write a configuration if you follow through the manual.
You can also start from the merged Ubuntu configuration and cut it
down and alter it if that's easier (but you'll be doing a lot of
cutting and you won't necessarily understand it as well as if you
wrote a configuration from scratch).
