As /usr/sbin/sendmail is usually symlink to Exim, you can substitute it
with wrapper script, i.e. something like:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
case "`pwd`" in /home/nordic/public_html )
cat - > /dev/null ; exit ;;
esac
exec /usr/sbin/exim "$@"
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Put any desired logic here. But note that this approach does not protect
against direct invocation of Exim, forcing SMTP+AUTH might be better.
