Jeremy's answer is probably better because I think it's more direct and cuts
out a re-queuing step, but I wanted to mention two other options.
Servers 1 and 2 should have different FQDNs, so you should be able to route
mail depending on server2's FQDN. If the email address is an alias, in
/etc/aliases you could then change the entry for that address and have it sent
to server2 that way. i.e. "so-in-so: user@???"
Another common method of doing this is via a .forward file in the user's home
directory; this depends on what you're using as a delivery agent, but it's
common for most of them to read the contents of .forward (including Exim
itself) to then forward emails to the address contained within that file.
