As I suspected, you're sensibly trying to be able to tell at a glance
which machine a message is from. This use-case is the main purpose of
the address rewritng proposed in the Postfix null-client guide in the
MULTI_INSTANCE doc.

I am sure confident very similar can be done in Exim. Just rewrite
on each host (From headers):

    # Replace "admin" with any suitable name of your choice.
    # Replace "hostname" with the actual name of each machine.
    root -> admin+root=hostname@???
    bin -> admin+bin=hostname@???
    ...


Any bounces will end up in "admin"'s mailbox on the smarthost.
You'll be able to tell where the message came from by looking
at the From address.
