I think Marc left off an option or two:
Insert a Mail Delivery Agent (procmail, or something else which a mere
human can understand and configure safely) between Exim and the mailboxes.
Exim doesn't *have* to do the MDA role (it normally does). Let the MDA
make the decisions...at this point it is a per-user decision since the
delivery is a per-user action.
OR
Insert a director which deals with sales@companyname and the other special
cases by delivering.
Then deliver the rest with a director which does the MDA insertion
mentioned above or is smart enough to decide what to reject (can a
transport filter do this?). (For Exim 4, think "router".)
--John (yes, the nice clean 5xx rejection at SMTP . time...Exim 4...is no
longer possible)
Of course, now a message to selas@??? is rejected, and one is
fired because the CEO says "THAT should have been obvious!"
