Hi,

No, your Exim mail server is not hacked.

Rather, it's appears to be setup to try to bounce virus mails to the 
forged sender.  This is not good practice.  You want to fix your 
configuration to reject such mails - ie. to not accept the things in the 
first place.

The infected machine itself may or may not be one of yours.  But that's a 
another issue.  As others have pointed out, the virus is likely a recent 
sober variant, which are forging addresses in the fbi.gov domain.

I wonder what the FBI will do with the list of IPs that are DDoSing them 
with bogus bounces....
