Set up exim to be able to deliver to 192.168.1.252, i.e. DNS. (dnsmasq
should be enough) and use something like this:
# Exim filter
if $original_local_part is not $local_part then
finish
else
unseen deliver mpierce@???
endif

Which will copy any mail routed directly to mpierce to the notebook
but will ignore anything forwarded (via .forward or /etc/aliases to
the mpierce-account from some other account.

WARNING this might deliver multiple copies to mpierce@server. I think
that is a bug and will send a separate mail to exim-users.
