Yes, this would be my preferred way to do it too. I'm an exim
fan (sort of) and I'm sure it can be done with exim.

Btw, I have an intermediate "fake MTA" in my setup anyway for
security reasons. Normally exim is installed setuid root and
world-executable, and the reason for the latter part is that
it needs to act as the submission agent as well; if another
simpler program takes over the submission role, exim can be
mode 04754 with a dedicated group.
