You can use any header you want, sa-exim uses a condition to check for the
header in it's configfile. I would prefer to use a cryptographical secure
hash-algorithm, for the message-id and a password. And check for this hash
in your configfile.

Nothing :)

If you want to play with the fire, you can install the current exim 4.14
snapshot, it provides the usage of ACL-variables, per connection and per
message. The message-variables should be available while checking the
localscan-condition (I'm not 100% sure, but as far as I'm checked the
code it's ok). It's documented in doc/NewStuff.
