redirect mail for a virtual domain(w/o local users) with exim

[Shri Shrikumar <shri@vitalstate.co.uk>]

Hi All,


I wonder if someone can help me with this very simple setup. I have one
primary domain running on my machine and mail comes through to the local
users.

I now have another domain. This is basically a virtual domain because I
am not going to create users for this one, I am just going to redirect
them to other email addresses (some of them part of the primary domain
already hosted on this server)

What is the easiest way of achieving this. I have already tried putting 

virtual:
  driver = aliasfile
  domains = *.domain.co.uk
  file = /etc/aliases.$domain
  search_type = lsearch*
  no_more

with /etc/aliases.domain.co.uk in the form of
alias1 : email@host.com
alias2 : email2@host.com

It however does not seem to work for the aliases that are not already
local users. i.e. if alias1 is a local user, mail delivery still works.
Mail delivery does *not* work for non-local users.

running exim 3.35-1 on a testing system.

Any help very much appreciated.

Regards,



Shri
