I've been tasked with finding a way for our

delivered to two servers (somewhat simultaneously). They use their
"work email addresses" as personal accounts, as well as business
accounts (don't get me started), and they don't want to be reliant on
connectivity to the corporate Exchange servers, so I've set up a
Docker mail server on their home network, but getting their mail
delivered to both that MTA and the Exchange servers is above my
knowledge grade.

If I recall, in Exchange it is possible to set up an address that all
mail sent to an account is forwarded to. After a short search, wWhile
not what I remember (I was working with a much older version of
Exchange), this article
(https://www.bursky.net/index.php/2012/03/copy-emails-on-exchange-to-another…)
appears to cover a version of that scenario (I presume that it will
allow sending to an address outside the organisation).
If using Exim in front of an Exchange server, you could create a custom
router to handle this (using "unseen deliver [email address to copy
to]") - see
https://serverfault.com/questions/299349/exim-how-to-deliver-locally-and-se….
I presume there is a way to do so with Postfix, but I'm less familiar
with that.
I'd say doing it on Exchange would be the easier of the two options.
Try it with a test mailbox first, the last thing you want is a Director
on your back because something went wrong and they didn't get an
important email while you were trying to get it working...
