Sure - use exim, but in the foreground :-)

Seriously though: I think the best method would be: shut down exim, make sure
there are no stray exim processes left around, copy the spool directory
somewhere (make sure you preserve uid/gid/mode), start exim up again. Then,
using a separate exim config file, whose spool_directory points to the copy
you just made, deliver the messages into a Maildir, or wherever you want.

Hope this helps,
