How about a pointer to the FAQ ?

http://wiki.exim.org/FAQ/Miscellaneous/Q5033

Remember that outgoing and incoming don't really mean that much to Exim - all mail comes in and all
mail goes out (be it to another host or a local delivery).
But, yeah, basically the easiest thing is to set up a system filter
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch14.html#SECID115
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/filter.html
and just put a command that says something like

unseen deliver mailbox@???

That means that all mail passing through the system will be delivered to that address as well as the
original recipients.
That help ?
