Don't change anything in /etc/defaults. These are sourced before the
local config files, so anything set correctly in your local config will
override the default settings anyway.

In /etc/periodic.conf:

exim_status_mail_rejects_enable="NO"

Exim installs its own rejects status script in /usr/local/etc/periodic.
