Well there are a few techniques like "bounce address tag validation" (BATV).

In our setup we just use rspamd (with just 1-2 rule tweaks) and it works
really well - all this "bounce-type" spam just gets filtered so I never
bothered to add more specific rules.

About 75% of our total spam volumes comes from dialup accounts or mail hosts
without valid reverse dns. All of them are caught by DNSBLs or just the "NO
HOSTNAME" rule.

Either way I think this is not so much exim related so you might want to check
out other anti-spam software (or maybe just a few additional rules) which can
be used with Exim.
