You have to tell each exim which messages it should ignore.
you can sort of fake this using a broken transport for the messages
that should be delivered by the other but that doesn't seem like a
good solution. (eg: transport_filter=/bin/false )
Were I asked to solve this, rather than trying to use a combined
queue, I'd either put both IP addresses on the same server, or set
one up as a smarthost and route the apropriate messages through it.
