Ah - I do have verify = recipient in my rcpt acl. And this is where the
"unknown user" error is coming from. With this in the ACLs, Exim has to
make a run through the routers to make sure it can deliver the message,
correct? Since my blacklist router fails the message, the ACL rejects the
sender, correct? This clears the fog in my head quite a bit!

Now, is there any way for me to have the ACL set different errors to
return? My whole point for doing this is to allow each individual POP
user to set their own scan prefs, whitelists and blacklists. Otherwise I
would do it all in my ACLs rather than having headers set in the ACL and
looking for them in the routers.

Could I do this in transports instead? Every example I have seen have
been routers. I guess that is my next documentation reading project. :-)
