Ahh.

That would be:

   accept  domains       = +local_domains
           endpass
           message       = unknown user
           verify        = recipient

I see, so the message there goes back through the SMTP server even
though the reason it failed was

>     data = :fail: mail $local_part-request for permission to post to
>  this mailing list

in the router.

So, I guess I would do something like making an ACLE to accept for
the mailing list and that could have the appropriate failure message.

Yep. I added this ACLE before my normal local_domains ACLE:

   accept  domains       = +local_domains
          condition = ${if exists
{/Users/exim/exim/lists/$local_part} \
                          {yes} \
                          {no} \
                       }
           endpass
           message       = mail $local_part-request for permission to
post to this mailing list
           verify        = recipient

I tried using the require_files = /Users/exim/exim/lists/$local_part,
but that doesn't seem to be supported for ACLs, so I used the
condition instead.

Thanks,
    Peter.
