Our volume of inward domain transfers is low enough that I didn't design an
automated fix. I have a (normally-commented-out) router in the Exim
instance which receives mail from our customers. When we have a domain in
the state you mention, I uncomment the router and put the domain in the
domains line in the router, and the router sends the message on to the MX.

I like Phil P's solution, and have saved it for consideration.
