Exim does NOT send back any bounce *if* you take care of the message in
the in the acl, the smtp dialogue looks like this:
* deny
sender:message for certain.domains
exim:550 don't wanna.
* drop
sender:message for certain.domains
exim:550 don't wanna
exim closes the connection.
The /sender/ then sends bounce, basically saying "tried to deliver, but
recipient said "don't wanna".
OTOH discard looks exactly the same for sender as if the message was
accepted. Could you show us a bounce and your ACLs?
I think your ACLs just accept the message and one of your routers
produces a bounce.
