Mmmh, it would still be a problem if you have a spam sent to two of the
domains you have at the same time, as sa-exim wouldn't know what -u to give

There's been talks about doing some hack where the -u would be linked to an
acl set in the exim config. Long story short, you have to handle the
situation where you have multiple recipients from different domains and/or
with different configs.

Someone, or I will eventually allow -u to take an exim variable, and people
would then have to work out what they do with the mail, and multiple
recipient conflicts in the exim config, so that sa-exim doesn't have to
care :)

But long answer short: today, you can't do this with sa-exim, nor do I know
of any simliar software that lets you do this, just because it's both hard
and will ever only be an incomplete solution at best.
