Iterate through the list using exim -bt $address to test the validity
of the address before sending:

# %<-----------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
for i in `cat /path/to/list_of_email_addresses`
do
    exim -bt $i > /dev/null
    if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
    echo $i
    else
    echo "# bad address ignored: $i"
    fi
done
# %<-----------------------------------
