Are these messages still in your queue? Do they show up in the output
of 'exim -bp'? If not, you'll have to get the information out of the
logs.

If they are still in the queue, you'll have to play around with exipick
yourself to figure out how to identify them. You can capture mail from
the two domains like this:

exipick '$sender_address_domain =~ /^(domain1|domain2)$/'

but that still doesn't single out "failed" or "undeliverable" messages.
