Yes, I do.

From my system_filter:

if $header_message-id matches "<[^>]+@>"
then
logfile /var/log/exim/nullmesgidbouncedemail.log 0600
logwrite "$tod_log $message_id envelope: $sender_address, From: $h_from ($sender_host_name[$sender_host_address]) => $recipients (recipients=$recipients_count) subject=$header_subject\n$message_headers"

  # Let's not bounce errors or mails back to us :-)
  if not error_message
  then
    fail text "Sorry, but your message-ID is broken, apparently because your\n\
             hostname isn't set right\n\
             You need to fix this before you can send us mail.\n"
  endif


  save /var/spool/exim/rejects/nullmesgidbouncedemail 0644
  seen finish
endif
