Configuring Exim to recognise foo@gmail.com is local

Configuring Exim to recognise foo@gmail.com is local

[James]

I'm setting up Exim and can't work out how to make it recognise my gmail 
account is local to the machine, rather than sending it to Google, but still 
allowing it to treat all other gmail accounts as non-local?

How can I tell Exim that all mail addressed to "foo@gmail.com" is local, but 
mail to any other gmail.com address is non-local?

For exim to treat gmail.com as local it would need to be in 
local_domain list under the main configuration.

something like:

domainlist local_domains = /path/to/local/domains/file

I am sure this would be a bad practise and you'd be better off doing 
using some other technique such as relay_from. Perhaps a mail to the 
exim users list would get you a better answer though.

Good luck.
