In my opinion, it is as clean as it is possible in a setup as sick as
this.

Maybe a simple redirect router (redirecting mail for the one domain to
the other domain while retaining the local part) would be enough as a
MTA is supposed to look only at the envelope and not at the headers.

I didn't bother to think more about it since your intentions are not
worded very clear and you made understanding your wishes even harder
by (a) obfuscating (see
http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/MailingListEtiquette#head-a6f7fb5ce8816568569a321f783315207ec38063(
and (b) mixing up your obfuscation later (foo.bar is not defined
anywhere, you defined foo.org and bar.org, abusing other people's
domains in an attempt to solve your spam problem)

Greetings
Marc
