Subject: [Exim] reject a recipient after DATA
--

I want to reject all mesasges to "bounceme@???", but I want
to do it _after_ the local_scan() has been run (to give it a chance to
reject first). I want to do this to allow people to experiment with
sa-exim before they install it themself by running the mail through my
system. The purpose of the failure (with suitable message) is to
notify them that the message got past SA. (the "Dave.Null" address
works satisfactorily, though :-)).

What I've tried so far :
    o   :fail: in /etc/aliases
            - this rejects too early (for this special case)
    o   deny recipients = bounceme   in DATA ACL
            -  this fails because recipients can't be tested in the data acl


While exim's behavior is correct and desirable in normal situations,
who ever said I was normal ;-)?

Any suggestions on how I can work this unusual case?

PS.  Apologies if a duplicate is received.  I had a quoting error in
     my .muttrc which caused the From: header to be blank (and thus a
     non-subscriber post).

Emacs is a nice operating system, it lacks a decent editor though
