I have this kind of config on one of my MTAs. Here is my setup:

driver:

shell_users:
driver = aliasfile
require_files = EXIM_CFG/local-domains : EXIM_CFG/shell-users
domains = partial-lsearch;EXIM_CFG/local-domains
file = EXIM_CFG/shell-users
search_type = lsearch
no_rewrite
# no_more
transport = shell_users_delivery

transport:

shell_users_delivery:
driver = pipe
use_shell
command = ${lookup{${lc:$local_part}}lsearch{EXIM_CFG/shell-users}{$value}fail}
return_output
prefix = ""
from_hack
user = exim
#
# The command is found in the shell-users file, key is the local part of the
# address. prefix = "" is mandatory for cyrus (reason not remembered, but
# discussed on the exim-users mailing list). from_hack just in case, no harm
# done but might avoid delivery problems. use_shell because of delivery
# problems, process deliver from cyrus return error 69 (could mean service
# or program unavailable).

local-domains:
domain.ch
*.domain.ch
...

shell-user:
# for delivering users with user accounts
user: /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver user
# for delivering mailboxes without user accounts
mailbox: /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -a cyrus -m mailbox

With this config, you don't need more drivers/transports for your alternative
delivery.

I hope this helps.
