Er, might you not run into a privilege problem here? Exim gives up its
setuid root privilege if called with "-C". I suppose you could tell it
to run itself as root, which might get round that.

Exim doesn't at the moment keep a DBM file keyed by recipient domain. I
suppose it could, along the same lines as the DBM file keyed by host
