Yes, that expression was the most difficult for me to adapt from the old 
ways before the data tainting was addded to Exim4.

The second one was the need to use "<;" in require_files, because that 
is a list expansion and the default list element separate is ':' in 
Exim4 but the ${lc:...} expression also contains that character, causing 
Exim4 to mis-parse the expression unless you change the list separator.

That took about a day of head scratching and running with -d+all to 
understand what is happening.

As a whole the configuration does not rely on any alias file being 
written by Sympa, it is completely dynamic by just using the directories 
for robots and lists as a data source.

Glad I could be of help.
