On a Linux (Debian) box
# mount --bind /var/spool/exim4 /var/spool/exim4
# mount -oremount,noexec,nosuid /var/spool/exim4
should make at least the mail store unusable for dropping executables.
Of course, this doesn't help against executing dropped shell scripts and
calling ld.so directly where that is possible.
