Use an accept router/director (You did not tell us which version of exim
you use) that delivers mails for these hosts to a appendfile-transport,
which saves it into bsmtp-files. when the hosts come back, reinject the
mails with exim -bS < FILE.

Spec.txt and the FAQ is full with hints about this, especially watch out
for ETRN related sections.
