Exim is my mailing list software! That's why I'm looking for the option
to tag the subject line ;-) I use a router like this:

virtual_groups:
driver = redirect
allow_fail = true
senders = ${lookup pgsql{ SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ... }}
data = ${lookup pgsql{ SELECT g.email FROM ... WHERE ... }}
local_part_suffix = -*
local_part_suffix_optional = true
retry_use_local_part = true
reply_transport = address_reply
pipe_transport = address_pipe

If this router passes, likely I am sending email to a list. I'd like to
put another column in the PostgreSQL DB to contain the optional subject
prefix and/or suffix strings that will be added to the subject when this
router is invoked.

There is no mailman or majordomo in use here.
