AFAIK, this is not possible. How would the operating system's TCP/IP
stack know which process to hand an incoming call to?

All this is added complication which is contrary to Exim's pretty simple
queuing philosophy. If you want an MTA with a "sophisticated" method of
managing queues, then it isn't Exim. (I don't personally believe it
would make a vast difference, having seen how such MTAs perform in the
past, but maybe I'm just an old cynic. Maybe somebody will write a good
one some day.)
