So are you saying that the server mail.domain.com (the one which spits out the
error) is an Exim server under your control? If so, the answer to your
question is "yes", as long as the server can identify which connections come
from the spam server.
For example, if your spam server has a static IP address, you could add a
"hosts" condition to the ACL which generates the error:
hosts = !spamserver.example.com
See
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch40.html#SECTaclconditions
for more.
If you need more help, please show us the section of your configuration which
generates the error.
