bounces not always come from <> sender, but you can try to reject
as much as possible (i have some acl's in http://www.ols.es/exim/acl/
which work well at detecting bounces)

this only affects outgoing connections, you can use something like
this:

smtp_accept_max = 120
smtp_accept_max_per_host = 3
smtp_accept_queue = 100
queue_only_load = 2

and

smtp_load_reserve
smtp_accept_reserve
smtp_reserve_hosts

if you have a list of good host, and also some acl's to fine
tune incoming connections:

acl_connect:

   accept  hosts          = :


# Too busy (all hosts)

   defer   condition      = ${if >{$load_average}{10000}}
           message        = Too busy now, please try latter
           log_message    = Too busy now ($load_average any)


acl_check_mail:

# Too busy (non-authenticated users)

   defer   condition      = ${if >{$load_average}{6000}}
           !authenticated = *
           message        = Too busy now, please try latter
           log_message    = Too busy now ($load_average)
