That depends. Is there a header line - *any* header line - that you can
absolutely count on as usable as an identifier of one of these spam bounces?
If yes, then it's quite easy to write an exim .forward rule to bounce them
elsewhere. I was having troubles with a particular spammer - I wrote a rule
to bounce every message they sent me right back to their abuse address.
It'll go something like this:
if $header_<whatever_line_works>: contains "<that_line's_contents>"
deliver "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
seen finish
endif
That's a slightly modified version of the exact rule I was using. The
deliver line is what actually sends it on the the abuse address, and the next
line (seen finish) says to *not* do any further handling of that message.
