Sure. Another good option is postfix+spamassassin.

Be sure that the exim system has access to the complete list of valid
local users and that you reject invalid local users at the front door
rather than trying to pass them on to the internal server.

A better approach is to set up a shared IMAP folder users can save the
mesage to. The problem with email forwarding is that mail clients
change the message - they put their own headers in the new message and
put some sort of delimiter in/around the original and don't include
all of the original headers.
