If I did that with my domains, I'd never get to read my mail due to
the flood...

I think you are looking for:

errors_copy
Type: string list, expanded
Default: unset

Setting this option causes Exim to send bcc copies of delivery
failure reports that it generates to other addresses. The value is a
colon-separated list of items; each item consists of a pattern and an
address list, separated by white space. If the pattern matches the
recipient of the delivery error report, the message is copied to the
addresses on the list. The items are scanned in order, and once a
matching one is found, no further items are examined. For example:

errors_copy = spqr@mydomain   postmaster@mydomain :\
              rqps@mydomain   mailmaster@mydomain,\
                              postmaster@mydomain
