Write a very small wrapper program (in C for speed, or Perl) to wrap the program and catch the signal, then return a normal error code. Exim can be configured with temp_errors to treat certain exit codes as temporary errors. If your program returns EX_TEMPFAIL (commonly 75) then this is one of the values in the default temp_errors. Exim doesn't support treating signal exit as a temporary failure, hence the need to wrap it. You can take the opportunity to use setrlimit() to ensure there are no core files, too.
