No, it's in the routers section (Exim 4) or directors section (Exim 3).
If you alias an address to a file, you must tell Exim which transport to
use to deliver to that file. You need to set the file_transport option
on your virtual_aliases driver, just as it tells you. Typically, this
should point to an appendfile transport.

The *transport* recognizes it as a special case.
