I'm sure there's an exim4 way of doing this with ACLs....

but a quick and dirty way would be to setup a real user called junk
and give it an exim .forward file:

  # Exim filter
  seen finish

or you could just have a cron to delete the user's mail regularly (in
case you wanted to inspect it from time to time).
