This is not possible in a file. You can, of course, do it in a separate
router:
xxx:
driver = redirect
local_parts = ^bounce-
data = rejo
I realize that if you have many of these, having so many different
routers is not ideal.
If all you are interested in is prefixes, you can solve the problem
another way:
xxx:
driver = redirect
local_part_prefix = bounce-
data = ${lookup{$local_part_prefix}lsearch{/some/file}}
where the file contains
bounce-: rejo
