No problem. In the directors configuration section of the exim.conf file,
you probably have something like:

system_aliases:
  driver = aliasfile;
  file = /etc/aliases,
  search_type = lsearch
# user = list
# Uncomment the above line if you are running smartlist

Just add a line under the driver = aliasfile; that looks like this:

include_domain = true,

Note the comma!

Now you will need to include the domain for EACH alias!

In other words:

postmaster@domain1:	billy
postmaster@domain2:	bobby

An alias like:

postmaster:	susie

Will never be matched if you set include_domain.

I can teach you a different, and I think better way if you like.
