No, all exim does is accept the mail (it does do a SQL lookup to check
if it is a valid relay domain, and an LDAP lookup to verify it is a
valid recipient) and drop it into a queue. MailScanner than does its
magic and drops it into an outbound queue, and a second exim instance
processes that queue. So, all I really need is for the first exim
instance to take a message with multiple recipients and break it into 1
message per recipient, then do the rest as it is being done now.
