That whitespace is part of your pipe command. It might be important.
(Yes, Exim could try to be clever and try to decide which whitespace is
important and which is not, but it doesn't.)
But what is wrong with something like this?
test-list-outgoing:

"| /usr/local/majordomo/wrapper digest

You don't want to use \ to continue lines in alias files (see 22.1).
