There are probably several ways. The fastest might be to
copy the default "system_aliases" to a suitable position in
the routers section the config file, rename it, and modify
the options... something like this:

redir_from:
driver = redirect
verify = false
domains = ! +local_domains
data = ${lookup{$sender_address}lsearch{/etc/exim/redir}}
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe

And add lines for the sender addresses in /etc/exim/redir:
spammer1@???: abuse
apammer2@???: abuse
