Lookups. Y'know, those things that Exim is really really good at
doing :)

Make every setting which you require to be a tunable value a lookup
(either using a macro, or directly) and then use a file of external
values to set them.

Just as a theoretical (largely untested!) example, a file containing:

foo: 50
bar: 100
baz: 1000

on one server, and:

foo: 10
bar: 1000
baz: 5

on another

could then be looked up as follows:

recipients_max = ${lookup{foo}lsearch{/path/to/file}{$value}{10}}
some_other_setting = ${lookup{bar}lsearch{/path/to/file}{$value}{99}}
a_third_value = ${lookup{baz}lsearch{/path/to/file}{$value}{100}}

Then all you need to do is set the values in the appropriate per-server
file.
