echo "user: :fail:" >> /etc/mail/aliases
Or better still,
echo "user: :blackhole:" >> /etc/mail/aliases
Make sure you know your aliases file correctly....
With the :fail: option, one day the list admins will wake up
and remove the user from their lists if they don't want to deal
with the bounces.
With the :blackhole: option, the e-mails to the user are silently
sent to the bit bucket.
Then consider upgrading to Exim-4 since 3.x is obsolete ;)

Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.
