Without playing tricks with sym or hard links, not easily. You see, the
problem is that you can have multiple rcpt-to's in one mail, so it
would have to be in multiple places.

Right, it's not parsed like an exim condition, just a C string.
 
Anyway, the idea behind saving rejected spam was twofold: 
1) debugging rules and scores for you and me
2) allowing users to read their rejected mail via mutt or some maildir
   capable imap server

For #2, I would recommend the following approach:
Exim puts this header in the mail
X-SA-Exim-Rcpt-To: marc at merlins.org

You could run an hourly cron job that goes through the spool of rejected
messages, and moves/hard links them to other directories where your users
can only get to the ones that were sent to them.

If you write such a script please contribute it back so that I can include
it in the main distro

Thanks
