This could be done but is a lot of pain.

Sounds messy...

What's the best way to do this? Bearing in mind that my home box has
a dynamic IP address...

I thought there would be an Exim macro representing the "current
address" that I could use to write an accurate header to the file that
could be used to make the multidrop work properly, but I can't find
one. Am I right in thinking there isn't one?
