You could use freeze_exec_fail to freeze the messages in the mail queue, then look there for failed messages. Or, write a script to periodically scan the queue for the frozen messages, add another recipient, and unfreeze them. Something along the lines of

# add alternate recipient to frozen message with
exiqgrep -r <rcpt address pattern> -z -i | xargs -n1 exim -Mar <new recipient address>
# remove original recipient address from message
exiqgrep -r <new rcpt address> -z -i | xargs -n1 exim -Mmd <rcpt address>
# deliver the message
exiqgrep -r <new rcpt address> -z -i | xargs exim -Mff

You might have to do something a bit different if the recipient address isn't a single address. Like just use exim -Mrm to delete the message.

Or, use temp_errors to to prevent message bounce. The messages will be retried.
