Subject: [exim] rejecting e-mail to addresses with persistent delivery problems
we're using Cyrus with delivery over LMTP. this means Exim has no way
of knowing the user's quota. however, after a week or so with "451
Quota exceeded" from Cyrus, Exim will use its retry database to know
that delivery to that user isn't likely to work, and so delivery isn't
even attempted.

I would like Exim to discover this during the RCPT ACL (or routing), but
it seems to me this is not possible. (the goal is to reduce backscatter
from spam going to users over quota.) any ideas?
