I use lookup files for virtual domains.
My local_domains setting:
local_domains = \
my.net.au:*.my.net.au:localhost:partial3-lsearch;/etc/exim/clients/domains
Each of my directors has a domains= line for my "real" domains; e.g.
userforward:
driver = forwardfile
domains = localhost:my.net.au:*.my.net.au
no_verify
check_ancestor
file = .forward
filter
I have a custom driver at the end of the Directors section, that
looks up what to do with virtual domains:
#
# This driver handles our virtual domains. It is
# last, to avoid unnecessary file lookups for real
# local addresses; this is why all of the above
# directors have a "domains = " line.
virtual:
driver = aliasfile
except_domains = localhost:my.met.au:*.my.net.au
domains = partial3-lsearch;/etc/exim/clients/domains
no_more
file = /etc/exim/clients/$domain_data
search_type = lsearch*
/etc/exim/clients/domains contains stuff like this:
*.v-domain1.com.au: file1
*.v-domain2.com.au: file2
*.v-domain3.com.au: file3
/etc/exim/clients/file{1,2,3} contain stuff like:
*: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The file /etc/exim/clients/domains just relates virtual domains
to other files in /etc/exim/clients/, and allows exim to verify
that a specified domain is a local_domain; the other files in
/etc/exim/clients, one per virtual domain, act as an aliases
file for the virtual domain (and can be much more complex than
the default shown here). Testing delivery in the example
above produces:
# /usr/sbin/exim -bt [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
<-- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
deliver to user1 in domain mail.my.net.au
director = localuser, transport = local_delivery
