qualify_preserve_domain is what you need.  Adding this to your virtual
director (if you have followed the virtual domains setup instructions
in the documentation then you will have a "virtual" director in your
exim.conf) means that virtual domain users prevail over local users, in
other words it will look in your virtual domain aliases file for "fred"
rather than looking in your main aliases file or delivering to a local
user by that name.  Unfortunately it doesn't "fall back" if there is no
virtual domain user, it just fails.  This is overcome by adding aliases.
Similarly, if you have two users with the same name you will have to
call one of them "fred1" and the other "fred2" and use aliases.
