This is a client-problem, most MUAs will disconnect if they receive a
5xx for an address, because they don't maintain "partial send" mails.
The client will stop before it even sends the DATA-part, so exim can't
send out the mail.

If another MTA connects to you, it will (most probably) deliver the mail
to all addresses which aren't refused.


If you really want to accept mails for undeliverable recipients, remove
the receiver verification in your RCPT-ACL.
