You could, but you could also read the doc extract that Mike already helpfully pasted for you: > http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch10.html#SECThoslispatnam > > "If a pattern starts with "*" the remainder of the item must match the > end of the host name. For example, *.b.c matches all hosts whose names > end in .b.c. This special simple form is provided because this is a very > common requirement. Other kinds of wildcarding require the use of a > regular expression." PCRE-style regexs and the 'match' operator are what you need here.
