| bounceme_real:

| local_part = bounceme

|
| bounceme_verify:
| driver = accept
| local_part = bounceme
| new_address = dman@???
Starting with this (which doesn't quite work as-is, btw) and
experimenting, I came up with the following :
1) in the RCPT ACL :
# bounceme request from <> -- bounce would freeze
deny local_parts = ^.*bounceme.*
senders = :
log_message = "bounceme request from <>"
message = "can't \"bounceme\" from <>"
# accept now, bounce later :-)
accept recipients = bounceme
2) in the DATA ACL :
deny condition = ${if match {$recipients} {"bounceme"} {1}{0}}
log_message = "bounceme request"
message = "You asked for a bounce :-)."
However, in doing this, I discovered that 'deny' commands in the DATA
ACL don't result in a 5xx response, but rather result in a new bounce
message being generated. That occurs for both this deny command and
the other one I tested. I re-scanned the spec and didn't see any
mention of that behavior. The result of that is that the data ACL is
no better for rejecting mail than the system filter is (both generate
new bounce messages), and the system filter is easier to work with. I
wonder if I did something wrong (again :-)) or if that's an oops in
exim.
