Aha! Replying to my own post: For the record I have found that
the way to do this is...
----------------
Exim 4 Catchall
Add another file in the router directory for catchall to work.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/exim4/conf.d/router$ cat 950_exim4-config_catchall
catch_all:
debug_print = "R: catch_all for [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
driver = redirect
data = ${lookup{*}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/exim4/conf.d/router$ egrep hendry /etc/aliases
root: hendry
*: hendry
With other people. I have yet to figure out how to configure different
aliases for different hosts, but I am not worried about that problem
atm.
----------------
As detailed at http://db.cs.helsinki.fi/~hendry/faqwiz/faqw.py?req=all#1.79
and this doesn't do multiple hosts well, but works for what I want.
