Any plans on addressing this?

We have a complicated e-mail processing system which requires that messages
first be dumped to a database and processed before being forwarded to the end
user. The easiest way to do this (and what we used to do with Qmail) was to
pipe the message through a filter for database insertion, and then deliver
based on the result of a database lookup, deferring until the message was
processed.

I attempted to replicate this in an Exim config by forcing deferral in the data
of a redirect router. This of course meant that the router was subject to the
retry rules for the local receiving domain, which isn't really what I want.

In addition to special retry for forced defer, it would be nice to have these
forced deferrals be message based, instead of host based.
