Don't accept mail for non-existant users. I don't remember all the
details with exim, but you need to put a check in your rcpt acl. I
expect there is plenty of information on the web, particularly if you
search the exim-users archives.

Indeed. That's one reason why you don't want to accept mail for
non-existant users. The other is to avoid being a source of
"backscatter".
