No. Exim provides only *.something for "ends with". If you want anything
more complicated you have to use a regex. Even for "begins with". :-)
You could try ^[^@]+@yahoo\. as a pattern (wrap it in \N...\N).
... and of course you'll just have to hope that somebody completely
unrelated to Yahoo! doesn't have a domain called yahoo.their.top.domain,
but I guess it wouldn't really matter much if they did.
