Try installing an exim system filter file. Have a look at chapter 47 of /usr/share/doc/exim/spec.txt.gz (System-wide message filtering) for more details. Set it up by putting a message_filter option in the first block of exim.conf, and something like this in the file you name there: # Exim filter if error_message then finish endif if $header_from: contains [EMAIL PROTECTED] then seen finish endif You can test what an exim system filter file is going to do using 'exim -bF my-filter-file'.
