Do you insist that the message be rejected at SMTP-time? If not, maybe
something like this:
begin routers
[...]
bounceme_real:
driver = accept
local_part = bounceme
no_verify
transport = bounceme_autoreply
bounceme_verify:
driver = accept
local_part = bounceme
new_address = dman@???
So at RCPT TO time, Exim just looks at bounceme_verify, and accepts the
address. But when it comes time to actually deliver it -- ie. after
local_scan() says the message is OK -- then bounceme_real takes over,
and bounces the message using the bounceme_autoreply transport. (Which
I have left as an exercise for the reader.)
Not sure if new_address is necessary for bounceme_verify. It should
never be used, of course.
Hmmm, you could probably also do this in the system filter -- but then
you have to worry about the multiple recipients case.
