Yes, and it's easy.
In the default configuration, exim looks in the /etc/aliases file. In
this file, you can have a list like:
all_teachers: bob,mary,bill,jane
If you have a large list that you want to create from some other
database, you can also have the list in a separate file. In this case,
you would put this in /etc/aliases:
all_teachers: :include:/etc/teacherslist
and the /etc/teacherslist file would contain:
bob,mary,bill,jane
This make sense? There are also ways to configure exim to look in
various other databases, but it can get complicated quickly.
