I don't think this is currently possible, unless you test for the files'
existence in the director that sends messages to this transport. You
would need to have two copies of the director, one with "require_files="
to test for the files, and another without. Each would direct to a
different transport, one with the relevant option, the other without.
Oh, heck. Since you want to test 2 files you are going to end up with 4
directors. Messy.

I have noted a suggestion to make Exim treat once = "" as if once were
not set, and the same for log.
