Subject: [exim] aliases file include syntax
Is it possible to include an alias file where the included file includes
the local part not just the alias addresses?

ie

is it possible to have:

':include:<path name>'

where path name links to a file which includes regular alias file
entries versus

'foo:    :include:<path name>'


which just seems to be an included file full of aliases to the localpart
foo.

I want to have a script automatically update the alias file with many
entries. It would be safer (for a number of reasons) to have the script
write to a second file which is included by the main one than have it
modify the real alias file. Is this possible?
