The problem is, how to do this other than by special configurations for
each case? The syntax of alias files is fixed, so there is no way one
can add uid information to them.
You don't in fact have to clutter your configuration with lots of alias
drivers. Just one would do:
special_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
file = /what/ever
file_transport = special_file_transport
with the transport like this
special_file_transport:
driver = appendfile
user = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/list/of/uids}{exim}}
You can, of course, base the lookup on the domain as well as or instead
of the local part.
Hmm. I see that the manual is missing something. When a delivery to a
pipe or file is happening, $local_part is not set to the name of the
file or pipe; it is set to the parent local part, which is exactly what
you want. I've made a note to fix the manual.
