That looks exactly what we're wanting. Basically we point our MX records to 
this spam filtering company and then they push the (cleaned) mail to us.  We 
need to do it only for certain domains though, not server-wide.  I'll have a 
read of the link you sent, so thanks for this

So do the MXs for those domains point to this other spam filtering
 company,
not to you?  And then they deliver the mail to you based on some
 nominated
hostname (i.e. not MXs)?

If so, DNS TTLs permitting, you'll want to permanently reject (deny)
 attempts
by others to send mail to those domains.  In general, something like

  deny
    domains = somedomain.example.com
    hosts = !spamfilteringserver.example.net
    message = Relaying denied

placed appropriately in your RCPT ACL should do the trick.  For more
information, read
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch40.html#SECTaclconditions
 ,
especially "domains = <domain list>" and "hosts = <host list>".
