Yes, You can. The answer is using using another mailserver as a smarthost your your exim.

i added this at the beginning of routers

smarthost_aol:
condition = ${if eq {${lc:$sender_address_domain}} {aol.com} {true} fail }
driver = manualroute
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "* smtp.server.dom bydns_a"

but the mail still goes by dnslookup.

i got it working, edit exim4.conf

domainlist smarthost_domains = domain1:domain2.com

then in routers section

smarthost:
driver = manualroute
domains = +smarthost_domains
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = +smarthost_domains IP_or_DNS_of_smarthost
