I came up with a work-around for this, once, but on a box I've since
decommissioned.

Indeed, that's the case with a router like that, below

It may have been something like:
local_parts = foo-admin : baa-confim
It may be worth testing something along the lines of
local_parts =
\N^.*-(admin|bounces|confirm|join|leave|owner|request|subscribe|unsubscribe)$\N
It might be useful to limit the domains a bit more that
+mm_domains, with such a list.
(yes, that is untested -- see chapters 8 and 11 of the Exim spec).
However I did it, it was most in-elegant, and took advantage of
"the order of routers matters, in Exim".
Having got it working, I remember 'we' decided that that list was
surplus to our demands. Hohum.

that's another (nice and easy) way ;)
