This means that Prism doesn't really implement SMTP. It realy needs

Postfix can do that if you tell it to, or it can reject invalid

They both behave the same in this area :-). (as defined above,
anyways)

Which version of exim are you using? I know that with exim's ACLs you
can accept or deny pretty much whatever you want to.
