This sounds like a variant of the question about multiple spam
acceptance policies. Our method is based on selective defer. If
you've only got two different policies to implement, there's no
need to force it down to one recipient per transaction: you can
accept the mail in just two batches. See e.g

http://www.exim.org/pipermail/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20031006/061151.html

for the principles.
