On the old server, right at the top of your routers, to send a copy of
all mail to the new server:

duplicate_to_test_server:
driver = manualroute
route_list = * new.test.server
unseen = true
verify = false

On the new server, right at the top of the routers, to suppress delivery
of all mail:

suppress_all_delivery:
driver = redirect
data = :blackhole:
verify = false

Is spamd running on the new server, or do you have a shared spamd server
that both exim's will be hitting? If the latter, then you'll end up
with all messages being scanned (and auto-learned) twice by the same
spamd, which could skew your spam learning.
