Thank you, I have the Exim4 book, but couldn't find the .include info
in it, but I did find it later.
The book wasn't exactly clear in which order it would process the
includes, but it looks like it will see the .include, read the file,
then come back to the rest of the routers if the .include did not
match anything.
