I have a router setup in my conf that looks like this:
| Code: | virtual:
driver = redirect
domains = dsearch;/etc/exim/valiases
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch*{/etc/exim/valiases/$domain}}
group = mail
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe |
where /etc/exim/valiases/ contains files named whateverdomain.com that contain:
so in this case you would have a file there named "domain.co.uk" that contained:
hope that helps

Can you post a snipit of the exim_main.log so I can see what's not working? I can also put a copy of my full exim.conf up for you if you like.

well, here's my conf file anyway. I'm sure it could help a little 
http://genfu.org/files/exim.conf
Let me know if you have any questions about it. It's using maildir, clamAV, DNSRBLs and spamassassin.
