I think you can already do that.

No, you can't do it that way, but you *can* do it by adding a transport
specification to your director.

I think this is the way you can do it. Set up an alias file containing
lines like:
user1: uid=1234 gid=5678
user2: uid=4444 gid=9999
with a transport like
virtual_transport:
driver = appendfile;
file = /var/spool/vpop/$domain/mail/$local_part,
user = "${lookup{$local_part:uid}lsearch{/etc/exim/$domain/aliases}\
{$value}fail}"
group = <similar>
and a director like
virtual:
domains = dbm;/etc/exim/domains,
driver = aliasfile,
transport = virtual_transport,
no_more;
modemask = 002
file = /etc/exim/$domain/aliases,
search_type = lsearch,
user = mail
If you wanted to, you could actually pick the mailbox out of the file as
well.
