I would leave out the macro altogether and configure exim to use the
$primary_hostname file if it exists otherwise use the global one. Ie:
domainlist local_domains = /etc/exim/local_domains_${if
exists{/etc/exim/local_domains_$primary_hostname}{$primary_hostname}{global}}
I would also drop the primary_hostname declaration altogether, allowing
Exim to figure out what it is, it's self. That way you have a truly
generic config file that you can drop onto any of your servers without
making any changes to.
