I (and hence the exim list) uses smartlist, which builds on procmail.

It doesn't operate as you say, instead being a rather lower overhead
method of doing the same as MajorDomo. The configuration is a little
arcane, however it does all I need, works very well on a spare box and has
given me no significant problems (the main requirement).

smartlist and procmail are generally available.
Configuration with exim (and without using aliases) is a snip - the
setting changes are:-

    # list stuff runs under slist user
    trusted_users = exim:slist    # add slist to trusted
    # deliver speed up
    remote_max_parallel = 5


    # TRANSPORTS
    # list transport
    list_transport:
      driver = pipe;
      command = "/var/spool/slist/.bin/flist ${local_part}${local_part_suffix}
",
      current_directory = "/var/spool/slist",
      home_directory = "/var/spool/slist",
      user = slist,
      group = slist


    # DIRECTORS
    # list director
    list_director:
      driver = smartuser,
      suffix = -request,
      suffix_optional,
      except_local_parts = ".bin:.etc",
      require_files = /var/spool/slist/${local_part}/rc.init,
      transport = list_transport;
