Hi Philip, at the moment i'm using a number of routers to achieve a
range of different mail routing scenarios, each router is routing to
a transport. I wasn't aware the transport option was expanded, this
could be a suitable workaround for the time being.

This was destined to be my ideal final solution as we need to include
some other message processing functionality - essentially having the
message arrive, get passed out for some processing, then passed back
to exim for final delivery. However at the moment me need is to come
up with an interim solution to relieve the load on the system.

I looked into system filters however we aren't archiving every
message that passes through the system. We offer the archiving and
off-site backup of messages as an optional service for our customers
(by domain) and couldn't find a way of doing lookups from a system
filter. The current archive router declarations (first entries in
the router config block) look like this:
