I don't believe there's a way to achieve this in native Exim, but you can
use a ${run expansion in an ACL or a router to call an external
prog/script to do the job... or a ${readsocket to communicate with a
daemon.
An acl clause such as
warn set acl_m0 = ${run <command> <args>}}
would do it.
In a router, you could probably put the above in a condition which will
always return true.
