I'm actually not using Exim myself, so unfortunately I can't even begin
to hint at how to implement it for you.

The draconian measure I implemented with my own mail server (Smail) was
to simply limit the maximum message size to 100,000 bytes. All
instances of the SirCam worm I've seen are larger than this (and almost
all valid human-generated e-mail is smaller).

I cleaned up initially with this command run in the incoming spool dir:

    rm $(fgrep -xl 'I send you this file in order to have your advice' *)
