Just at the moment, probably!
In Exim-speak, however, this would be a new kind of lookup because it
doesn't fit either of the patterns of the two existing kinds of lookup.
It can't be a single-key lookup, because you can't convert the data into
DBM/cdb/tdb/NIS, and it doesn't quite fit the query-style approach
either. Though I guess one could invent syntax to make it so:
${lookup regexlist{subject=xxx file=/a/b/c}}
Hmm. Perhaps it's really an extension of "matches"?
${if matchesfile{subject}{/file}{$value}....}
No, I suppose a lookup is better because you could then say
hosts = regexlist;subject=$sender_host_name file=/a/b/c
