You *cannot* cause a test like this to fail in the SMTP session because
the system filter is run at delivery time - not at receipt time. By
the time the filter runs the SMTP session has been completed.
What you want cannot currently be achieved with exim.
[Also, even if you did manage to do that, many sending MTAs do not
react well to being given a negative response at end of DATA, so would
just resend it to you.]
