I handle this by using a lookup expansion in the file path. Set up
your LD-list file so that the value associated with the domain key
is the path to use. (Or the base of the path if you will need to
access various files in the virtual domain's private tree.)
*.dom.ain: /etc/mail/dom.ain
*.mumble.com /etc/mail/mumble.com
Then modify the director to use the value of the lookup.
virtual:
driver = aliasfile
domains = partial-lsearch;/etc/mail/LD-list
no_more
file = ${lookup {$domain} partial-lsearch \
{/etc/mail/LD-list} {$value} fail}
search_type = lsearch
