No. Apart from the daemon, which just fork a new process for each
incoming message, Exim does use long-running processes. All Exim
processes that do the actual work are short lived.

What you perhaps need is a separate, long-running process that is
attached to a Unix domain socket or a named pipe. Exim should be able to
deliver to a named pipe as if it were a file. Check out the allow_fifo
option in the appendfile transport. But you will have to write the
long-running process yourself.
