It works even better if you just don't have a catchall. If you don't
have one, Exim rejects the email outright which means the sending host
has to expend its' resources generating any NDRs. Using :blackhole:
still means you're accepting the messages, just a bit more quietly than
before.

Both methods are valid, but the "not using catchall" method tends to
make other admins sit up and take notice that something isn't quite
right.
