The easiest way is to edit your system filter (which is located
wherever the "system_filter=" line in your Exim configuration points to).
Near the top, you can put something like:
if error_message
then
seen finish
endif
That will mark all bounce messages as both "seen" and as "finished
delivering", subsequently throwing them away.
This is unrelated to your question, but on our system we do:
if error_message and not first_delivery and $message_age is above 86400
then
seen finish
endif
This will cause any bounce message that hasn't been delivered in 24 hours,
but has attempted delivery at least once, to be thrown away. We're not
going to waste a lot of resources trying to deliver bounce messages.
