The application generating the messages can't physically update the
files - hence trying to see if there was a way of directly using
information provided in a custom header to specify the route.

The exim instance is running on a server in the dmz to handle outbound
emails. The application is running on a server on a separate internal
network. It cannot read/write any files held on any servers in the dmz,
servers in the dmz cannot read/write any files held on the internal
systems. (network security rules prohibit that, and cannot be changed).
The application server can communicate with the exim system using SMTP only.
