I just use a custom bounce message template so that ONLY the information
I want sent in the return message is there and nothing else.

In the Exim 4.x Configuration File:
##########################################################################
# Bounce and Warning Messages
##########################################################################
    #Define the template to use for customizing 'Bounce' messages
bounce_message_file = <localtion_for_exim>/templates/bounce.template
    #Set that we do not want to include the original file in
    #   'Bounce Messages'
bounce_return_message = false


Template File Contents:
<<START OF FILE>>
Subject: Mail delivery failed ${if
        eq{$sender_address}{$bounce_recipient}
        {: returning message to sender}
        {: returning message}}
****
This is an automatically generated message.


A message that was sent by "$sender_address" was not
delivered to one or more recipients for the reasons given.

Listing of the address(es) that failed:
