How to exclude emails to non-existing mailboxes from journalig rule?
I don't see that this is possible. If you journal, you capture everything per the scope you set up. I suspect that you want New-JournalRule https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125242(v=exchg.160).aspx to have a different scope (like IgnoreServiceMessages), but some of those service messages are important to prove whether someone received a message, so I think it would be really difficult to come up with a rule that does what you want without fatally undermining the integrity of the journalling process.
I'm not aware of such functionality, and I don't see how it can be implemented, as the message will be saved to the Journaling mailbox upon submitting it to the transport pipeline, not upon receiving the SMTP response. Allowing such "writebacks" sort of defeats the purpose of journaling. Anyway. TonyRedmond is much more experienced in the compliance area, he might have a better answer.
