However if exim isnt doing that, and you want to just skip delivery to
that recipient, you should be able to use -Mmd:
-Mmd <message id> <address> <address> ...
The first argument must be a message id, and the remaining ones must be
email addresses. Exim marks the given addresses as already delivered
('md' for 'mark delivered'). However, if the message is active (in the
middle of a delivery attempt), its status is not altered. This option
can be used only by an admin user.
