Bug#418910: HOWTO replace dsearch in dc_other_hostnames

NEWS.Debian suggests using the macro mechanism to replace the
no-longer-working dsearch entry in dc_other_hostnames.  I thought it
would be helpful to include an example, since this seems to affect many
people.  Could someone verify that this is correct, and perhaps include
it in the documentation?

In short, if you used to enter

pimlott.net:dsearch;/etc/exim4/virtual

in dc_other_hostnames (ie, the question "Other destinations for which
mail is accepted:), then you should instead add the following line to
exim4.conf.localmacros:

MAIN_LOCAL_DOMAINS = @:localhost:pimlott.net:dsearch;/etc/exim4/virtual

What you put in dc_other_hostnames is no longer used.

Works for me!

Andrew
