Something like e

xipick -i 'recipients =~ /email@???/'

will get you a list of message-IDs to work with - you need to create a
script which eats those and does a exim -Mar and exim -Mmd to switch
the recipient address.

Copletely untested, please treat as a set of hints to check out rather
than a laundry list of things to type.
