Scenario:
I have multiple virtual domains on my mail server, each with its own
alias file and passwd file, not to mention virtual mail directories for
each domain. I also have a main domain which has it's own password and
alias files. I am using code which was taken from the exim-users
mailing list archive to process the virtual domain and local domain
information.
The problem is compounded by the fact that {zmw.com} is a domain alias
for {pibomulti-na.com} (Same company, but all e-mail accounts are
actually handled by pibomulti-na.com and anything with @zmw.com simply
needs to be remapped to the files in the pibomulti-na.com configuration.
(ie, there is no /var/spool/vmail/zmw.com and /etc/vmail/*.zmw.com ...
I attempted to modify the file to compensate for this, but it's not
working. Also, if a virtual domain alias also exists in the main domain
(such as info or admin) they are being processed by the local domain
rules as if the virtual domain didn't exist and being delivered to the
local domain.
I remarked out the require_files bit because it was dumping some of my
mail because there was no alias file for the particular domain.
Would it be better to just let /usr/lib/linuxconf/lib/vdeliver handle
the incoming mail to the virtual domains (including aliases) instead of
trying to let exim handle them?
I tried putting my virtual domains under relay_domains = instead of
local_domains = but it was freezing the virtual domains in the queue
rather than delivering them.
Any suggestions as to how to alter this so it works properly?

/var/spool/mail/${local_part}

/var/spool/vmail/${domain}/${local_part}

I have a file which contains the virtual domains for which mail is
accepted on this system.
