Yes. This list holds all domains for which you want to do these aliases.

for each domain in virtual_domains you need one aliases-style file to map 
localparts (string in front of the @) from this domain to "real" email 
adresses.

for example, on my mail server:

> david@diode:~$ cat /etc/mail/aliases/black.co.at 
> postmaster: david

I also have my virtual_domain list in a file:
> david@diode:~$ grep 
virtual_domains /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/01_exim4-config_listmacrosdefs 
> domainlist virtual_domains = lsearch*;/etc/mail/virtual-domains

You also want to go through the acl/ section and add the virtual_host list to 
all "domain=" tests which test for local_domains.
