If the Exim solution won't work, what I'd do (and in fact do
with
Postfix) is to have Exim hand each message to (Courier)
maildrop (no,
procmail would not work in your - or some of my - cases)
that gets its
home and mail directories from a database - in my case LDAP.
There are
other Courier alternatives to LDAP, as Sam points out.
