Well, if you remove all routers that can do a remote delivery and run a few 
exim -d -bt email.address type tests to satisfy yourself that it does what 
you've told it to do then you should be OK. Use of an accept or redirect router 
would probably be the way I'd think of doing this and just write the emails to 
one or more files.

In terms of preserving the original recipients, there are many ways you could 
achieve this - something in the data acl that does a warn and adds a header 
containing $recipients maybe ?
