I don't think so. I can make it work for complete domains:
tttt:
driver = domainlist
transport = smtp
route_list = "lsearch;;/exim/test/mailertable \
${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/exim/test/mailertable}\
{${extract{2}{:}{$value}}}}"
[And I guess if you wanted to you could select field 1 as a transport
name instead of using a fixed one.]
However, the partial matching doesn't work because Exim looks up *.thing
rather than just .thing when asked to do partial matching.
I will put two things on the Wish List:
(a) Make $value hold the data part of a record looked up in a
domainlist configuration such as above, to save having to specify the
lookup twice (though it isn't inefficient, as the cache is used).
(b) Think about a variety of partial lookup that omits the leading *
from the lookup keys.
