I keep getting lots of bounce emails, the server is used for just one site, and we don't care if the emails bounce back as invalid, we just want to disable it. We only use the email system on the for newsletters anyway.

Emails like

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

we want to stop them.
 
Let me try to understand your request:

You're sending what you call newsletters to a mailing list which has invalid addresses in it. When the recipient server sends you a notice that the user doesn't exist, instead of taking the nonexisting address off your list, you want to just keep sending to it until your server is blocked?

Are you a spammer? Or do you just want to look like one?

We are not spammers neither do we want to look like them.

Our issue is that we have sent a newsletter to the wrong user group, a user group that has not confirmed there email address.

Now we understand why the emails are bouncing back but we need a solution to stop receiving the bounced emails.

As they are flooding our primary email account, would we be able to change the email address the bounced emails are sent to.
 
I suppose there's a way to filter them out and forward them elsewhere, including to /dev/null, but I've never looked, as generally this is something only spammers want to do.

Google for a way to use exim.conf to target emails that come from empty senders, and then forward them somewhere else.
