Can't help you with exim, don't use it. But if should you start employing
procmail, it is easy:

JERKS=hell\.surfers@cwctv\.net

:0
* $^From: .*($JERKS).*
/dev/null


(This lets you keep adding addresses to the variable JERKS. Separate
with '|' alternations.)


If you want to be generous and revisit the messages someday, send them
to a mailbox instead:

:0:
* $^From: .*($JERKS).*
spam

Hope this helps.
