In /etc/aliases put the line

dman: :fail: This user is not allowed to receive mail.

(assuming you have a router/director that checks /etc/aliases)

There are other ways.

No. There isn't a "MAIL TO" command. At the "MAIL FROM" commadn you
don't know who the recipient is. The above alias technique will
reject the recipient at "RCPT TO" time.

The director causes it to be rejected because exim will verify local
users before accepting them. If no director accepts the address, or
if a director fails the address, it will be rejected.
