You cannot, unfortunately, prevent the message from getting into your
system, because the message has to be read before you can inspect the
Received: header. The best you can do is to install a system filter
which junks any message containing such a header. Thus the sender still
wastes bandwidth and your resources in transporting the message to you,
and you just throw it away. A simple system filter that does this is
# Exim filter
if $h_Received: contains "from baby" then seen finish endif
