[Gllug] Exim and virtual domains

[Paul Brazier]

Can someone give me some pointers to setting up "virtual domains" in
Exim?
Is this what exim calls "directors"? The documentation looks very
comprehensive but assumes you know all the jargon etc.

The box has the domain "mydomain.com" say but I also have DNS A, MX, etc
records set up for "foo.com" and "bar.com" to point to the same IP
address. For starters it would be nice just to bounce mail for
fred at bar.com to another email say fred at fredsisp.net. Then maybe also
have local spools so people can pick up email by pop3.
I have this kind of setup with postfix on another box and although it's
slightly tricky to set up it does work.

I've looked into /etc/aliases but I'm not sure if this is just for local
users - I tried adding an outside email to this but I think it thought I
was trying to use it as a relay and gave me an error.

Can Exim even do this (I'm sure I've seen this topic before but couldn't
see it in the archives) or do I need something more heavyweight like
Courier?

Are there any simple introductions to Exim either online or in print? Is
the O'Reilly Exim book any good?
