There Is More Than One Way To Do It.
The most simple way is using aliases, in case routing for x.example.com
and y.example.com just works on your box.
If you serve example.com only and nothing else, you may just put
them into your /etc/aliases (provided that your Exim is set up as
usual).
# /etc/aliases
bill: [email protected]
rose: [email protected]
If you serve several distinct domains, you can use an extra file per
domain (or put them alltogether into one single file)
Insert a new router in the proper place in your routers chain:
<some name>:
driver = redirect
file = <config dir>/virtual/$domain.alias
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{<config
dir>/virtual/$domain.aliases}}
Now you can maintain a distinct alias file for every domain you serve.
Alternativly
<some name>:
driver = redirct
data = ${expand:${lookup{$local_part@$domain}lsearch*@{<config
dir>/virtual.aliases}}}
if you want to maintain a single alias file for all your forwardings:
# virtual.aliases
[email protected]: [email protected]
*@example.com: [email protected]
But please consider this mail as a hint only, consult the spec.txt for
more information and for completness. My hints may be even wrong.
