Since your main host is unix, exim(4) can delivery over NFS,
if the second machine is prepared to export its main spool.
Forwarding is better, but probably more complex than merely
*delivering* to to the other machine.

Having mentioned the option, I would say that forwarding
is likely to be better unless the second machine is already
an NFS server.
For me, as an experienced sysadmin, I'd say that running a mail
service on the second machine was better but more work than
running NFS on it.
