I've not been reading the exim mailing list properly over the last few weeks,
but just to shove in my two-pennorths. You'll not be able to properly
hide it unless exim doesn't log something. I can think of ways of doing
that, the first, and ickiest is to run a version of exim which logs to
/dev/null %-}
Also it may be possible to at least make tracing very difficult if you
included some mailing list software, such as majordomo, and munged that
up good and proper.
The other sideways solution that springs to mind is to set up a web page
and to do it from there.
