What you are asking for is for Exim to use the entire email address
as the retry-database index key instead of just the remote domain name.
There is an option called "retry_use_local_part" which can be enabled
on a special router that will reference the retry database using the
entire email address.
A basic example would be:
special_remote_smtp:
driver = dnslookup
domains = yahoo.com
retry_use_local_part
transport = remote_smtp
You do *not* want to use the retry_use_local_part option on your
_default_ router or transport. If you do, you'll find that hosts
that really are down will cause every message to be retried, and
your queue runners will get massively clogged trying to deliver
those messages.
If you are only moving a very small number of emails a day (less than
100 maybe?), then it may not matter. Just be forewarned.
