^(?:[^@]+)@(?:domain1|domain2)\.com$ \
${expand:${lookup{$local_part@$domain}partial-lsearch*@{/path/to/your/file}{$value}fail} \
Tbc
with the file containing lines like:
# for your type 1 rewriting rule
alias1@???: real1@???
alias2@???: real1@???
*@domain1.com: real1@???
# for your type 2 rewriting rule
*@domain1.com: ${local_part}@???
Of course you can do more than just that.
You could also split your 2 rewriting rules types and replace the
regexp with your simpler strings. The nice thing about exim is
that many times you have many ways to do what you want.
