This has nothing to do with Exim (or any other MTA) per se. Exim can
play a role in this setup (as can any other MTA), but the main
moderation feature is something which has to be implemented using a
separate software solution.
Exim is just a MTA, moving and delivering mails, nothing more, nothing
less.
What you want is outside the scope of Exim (or any other MTA), as far as
I am concerned.
Your project is certainly doable with enough knowlege, but nothing
someone implements by fiddling with a few knobs in cPanel.
Maybe a ticket system like OTRS or RT is a better solution for your and
your bosses needs?
