I'm not that expierenced with exim, but it seems entirely capable.  My
first attempt at what you are trying would probably look like this:

Use debconf to setup the system as a normal internet-connected host, making
sure to allow relaying for the entire internet (something like 0.0.0.0/0
might work).  Then change your dnslookup_relay_to_domains router to use a
different transport (e.g. maildir_home OR LOCAL_DELIVERY).

Actually, it was even simpler. I just set up a system filter with a "deliver recipient@example.com" line, and now all mail is sent there instead. 

Thanks for the help. :-)
