That's just what the doctor ordered. Thank you so much, really

${hash{<string1>}{<string2>}{<string3>}}
This is a textual hashing function, and was the first to be
implemented in early versions of Exim. In current releases,
there are other hashing functions (numeric, MD5, and SHA-1),
which are described below.
The first two strings, after expansion, must be numbers. Call
them <m> and <n>. If you are using fixed values for these
numbers, that is, if <string1> and <string2> do not change when
they are expanded, you can use the simpler operator notation
that avoids some of the braces:
