4.20 manual, section 37.11, the bit about "message":

If "message" is used on a statement that verifies an address, the message
specified overrides any message that is generated by the verification
process. However, the original message is available in the variable
$acl_verify_message, so you can incorporate it into your message if you
wish. In particular, if you want the text from ":fail:" items in redirect
routers to be passed back as part of the SMTP response, you should either
not use a "message" modifier, or make use of $acl_verify_message.

The same applies to :defer: - at least, I hope it does!

For the next release of Exim, I have changed the default configuration
file so that there are no "message" modifiers on ACL statements that run
verifications. The cannot_route_message option on the routers is used to
provide the text formerly specified by "message" in these cases.
