This is possible with filters. See
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/filter.html for the syntax.

Your ~/.forward file can be an exim filter. I don't know if this is
configured by default in Debian's exim, but it's just a simple setting
in the config file:
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/index.html#toc0207

It's also possible to use a system filter, but that would affect all users.
