Yup. If that's the case, then rather than using fail you just want to do
a "seen finish". Something that you should note is that it is generally
regarded as an *extremely* bad idea to just drop any mail on the floor.
I only drop mail to "bait" addresses on the floor, just so those bait
addresses stay on the spam lists. I make sure that wherever they are
advertised, there is a big notice saying "do not mail these if you are
a human".

RTFM? "seen finish" is basically what you want, but the exim filter
specification is worth reading, and see below for another reference on
exim filter files...

Can I <plug> point you at

I would firstly put the error_message stuff at the top of the filter. Also
you may want to note that some bounces come from postmaster@ rather than
mailer-daemon@, and I've seen some others too...
