Well, it gets the recipient address, and I was assuming that that
related to the user somehow. Or could be related by doing a lookup of
some sort. Basically, in Exim 4, you can set up an access control list
that runs at RCPT time which can do things like:

  . If the local part (of the address given by RCPT) is in *this* set of
    values, run *these* checks.


. If the local part is in *that* set of values, run *those* checks.

. Etc.

The checks can include RBL tests, either "hard" or in warning mode. So
you can let different (sets of) users have different things.
