[plug] Mail to generic aliases...

Does exim (or any other mail agent) support handling wildcard-based mail
usernames by an arbitary script? Ok, I'm sure some do, it's just a case of ease
of implementation.

eg; A normal mail alias may be something like:
   fred:joebloggs at someother.place
A normal mail script may be something like:
   bingml:"|/my/mailist/script.pl"
Can I go:
   bing*:"|/my/mailist/script.pl"
... such that any e-mail sent to bing, bingbong, bingack, etc, all goes to the
one script?
Or the ultimate catch-all:
   *:"|/my/catchall/script.pl"
Is this possible (be it through a specific agent, different syntax, whatever)
short of writing your own entirely? ^_^
