yes, thats what we have now and want to change (before upgrading to Exim
4). We use Exim filters for this. We'd like to have non-deliveries only
with the header of the mail (with no content).

Any idea how doing this? I searched through the config file and filter
and throug Exim Users Forum, could not find an answer.
