mygroups:
driver = redirect
domains = +local_domains
local_part_suffix = .*
data = mygroups@???

Note that Directors and Routers merged into Routers, so you'll need to
explicitly qualify this to restrict it to local domains; suffix got
renamed to be less vague and the new redirect driver is a more flexible
generic replacement for smartuser.

If it's important to keep no_verify_sender then you'll need to emulate
it with duplicate logic in ACLs, I think.

Be careful with the .* in local_part_suffix, you don't want to
accidentally turn it into a regular expression (regex/regexp).

I might be forgetting even basic Exim3 terminology -- it's been a while.
