I think a system filter is the way to go here. I have something similar setup
on a server to keep an archive of all emails for a domain to do local spam
training. I've based mine on the headers, but using $sender_address and
$recipients _should_ work, but I'm not going to look it up.

At the top of the configure file:
system_filter = /etc/exim/exim.filter
system_filter_user = exim
system_filter_group = exim

The exim.filter file (chown'd exim.exim, chmod 0500).

# Exim filter

# don't want to get multiple copies
if first_delivery
and ("$h_to:, $h_cc:" contains "user@???")
or ("$h_from:" contains "user@???")
then
unseen deliver "store@???"
endif

Of course, BCC's don't get caught by this so there's a good reason to use the
system variables rather than the headers.
Also, this is comepletely illigal in Australia unless you get their written
concent, so check your local privacy laws.
