The rejection is based on inclusing in an RBL. Not all of these
inclusions are truly unwanted email. So, the dilemna becomes how do I
allow my customers to choose to not receive these messages while still
ensuring that no legitimate email is lost?

I'd love to be able to do this with a customized reject at SMTP time
but I think exim v3 lacks the facility to do this. (I may be wrong on
this. I'm sure someone will correct me shortly.)
