I'm not saying that I think his idea is a good one from a philosophical/legal
standpoint (I don't), but from a technical standpoint, the above is a much
better way of accomplishing the goal than trying to do it within exim.

Exim should only care about mail *at it's delivery/routing time*. If you're
trying to do more than that with it, you're using the wrong tool for the job
(right or wrong as the job may be is another issue entirely).
