Wait a minute. Let's step back a bit here. I don't think anybody ever
said that. You said, if I recall correctly, something to the effect
that "Exim should not be able to apply the test 'is the sender of this
message empty?'". I and other people are arguing against that
proposition.
What you do after passing that test is a different matter. As somebody
pointed out, one of the things you could do is "always accept, no matter
what".
