Yes, if you just provide it as an inline file name, e.g.
reject_recipients = /some/file
Each line of the file is treated as if it were an entry in the list. No
keys are involved. This is not a lookup. See 7.14, first paragraph.

If it's a regex, it must begin with a circumflex, just as regex's in the
actual list must.
