I'd love to hear the reasoning for this. I bet it's completely daft and
utterly inescapable.

Or deliver mail for ordinary users to POP or IMAP folders, and run
something fetchmail-ish with a 2 hour cycle time on the client side.
Or have a separate Exim config file and queue for the big men: most mail
would be queued only, and you run the queue every two hours; mail for
the big guys is detected and somehow put in another queue for immediate
delivery (ie. the way most Exim installations work). Not sure how to
separate the two streams though.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they *aren't* out to get you.
