I just tried that, and it works fine. That is an acceptable option,
IMO.
There is a minor unaestheticism though, the system filter is not
subject to macro expansion, so one would have to name the ACL
variables by their numeric name instead of having the macro.

I am not too fond of that feature as well, but _this_ job it does
pretty well. At least until Philip finds the time to implement the
header weeding in the place where it belongs.

Why did it? The Debian exim4 packages are pretty conservative with
filtering, so a system filter has not yet shown necessary.
