I say somehow because what you propose would indeed mean that it is
treated differently from other addresses, but this difference would
mean that ACLs would not be able to treat it specially.
Indeed it *is* treated specially in Exim, *because* I can distinguish
it from all the other addresses.
If I could not, how would my ACL be able to *not* apply delays on
sender callouts, for instance?
