I don't understand your situation. Does the "man next door" have his own
mail server? Do the "various clients all over the country" have their own
mail servers? What are they running.
If each location has its own mail server (running exim) then configure
those to keep or deliver directly anything that they consider local, and
pass anything non-local off to your mail mail hub. Have the MUAs point to
the local mail hubs for sending mail.
But I suspect that I've misunderstood the situation.
