OK.  First, take out the wildcard line from /etc/aliases (if you
haven't already), and delete the "domains = z10.com.br" line
from your system_aliases director, and reload the exim
configuration with the command
# /etc/init.d/exim reload

so that normal delivery to "real" users works again.

Check that it's basically doing the right thing for both local
and remote addresses with a command like
# exim -bt root root@mail.yahoo.com

Then, add something like this to the end of the DIRECTORS
section of /etv/exim.conf, just before the "end" statement:

unknown_user:
  driver=smartuser
  new_address="admin"

Reload the exim configuration with
# /etc/init.d/exim reload

and then try it out with something like
# exim -bt nonesuch
