Answering my own mail, I found a solution to my problem of last evening.
I have put the following lines in my system filter, which does exactly
the right job

# archive outgoing mails from HD2ARC-users

# we need to check the sender host address for outgoing mails;
# potentially, lusers will be sending from the A, B and C subnets.
if ($sender_host_address is "" or $sender_host_address is 127.0.0.1
  or $sender_host_address begins "xx.xx.A."
  or $sender_host_address begins "xx.xx.B."
  or $sender_host_address begins "xx.xx.C.")
and ${domain:$sender_address} matches "somedomain" then
    if ${lookup{${lc:$sender_address_local_part}}lsearch{/home/exim/cfg/TABLES/HD2ARC-users}{yes}{no}} is "yes" then
      unseen deliver my_special_archiver_address@my_archive_host
    endif
endif

I adapted the solution outlined in the Exim advanced course notes.
So thanks Philip :-))
