Well, try using the facilities exim offers you:
steve@mercury:~$ exim -bP received_header_text
received_header_text = Received: ${if def:sender_rcvhost \
{from $sender_rcvhost\n\t}
{${if def:sender_ident {from $sender_ident }}
${if def:sender_helo_name {(helo=$sender_helo_name)\n\t}}}}
by $primary_hostname ${if def:received_protocol {with $received_protocol}}
${if def:tls_cipher {($tls_cipher)\n\t}}(Exim $version_number)\n\tid
$message_id${if def:received_for {\n\tfor $received_for}}
Wrap the whole thing in an if eq{$sender_rcvhost}{my.host} ... {no}{yes},
so that it won't generate those headers when getting mail from your one
machine.
