Hi there,

We're running exim-1.62. I'm having difficulty getting virtual domain 
aliasing to work.

Lets say we are "domino.co.za" and I'm hosting a virtual domain 
"blues.co.za". I have about 10 id's belonging to "blues.co.za" that I 
would like forwarded to different places. Eg. I'd like 
"mike@blues.co.za" to go to "melba@minerva.med.wits.ac.za" and
"john@blues.co.za" to go to "jp9@cdrom.co.za" etc.

In my configure file I have the following local: statement:

local_domains = "info1.domino.co.za:\
                dbm;/opt/hppd/exim/domains"

In my configure file I have the following director:

virtual:
   domains = dbm;/opt/hppd/exim/domains,
   driver = aliasfile,
   no_more;
   file = /opt/hppd/exim/$domain,
   search_type = dbm,

Where /opt/hppd/exim/domains contain one entry: blues.co.za
and /opt/hppd/exim/blues.co.za contain entries such as:

mike@blues.co.za 	melba@minerva.med.wits.ac.za
john@blues.co.za	jp9@cdrom.co.za

These work fine if "mike" is a login id on the host running exim. If 
mike is not an id. on the host, the message fails with the following 
error:

hennie@info1.domino. co.za 1997-10-30 16:27:31 
0xQudF-0001Tq-00 Completed  

I don't want to create a local id. for every mail address in the 
virtual domain. How can I fix this ?

Any help highly appreciated.
