The only place a message in an "accept" response is going to end up is
the sending host's log, *if* it cares to log such text (Exim does). What
Exim actually sends is the message id of the accepted message, so that
it can be logged in case of a later query. Nothing gets back to the
sending user, of course. That's why "message" does nothing on an
"accept" statement. (It is documented that it only has an effect if
access is denied.)
