Oh, we DO that.
Specifically, we check for relay_hosts and 'authenticated' *first*, even using
separate (non-standard) ports and protocols to give our Mac & *BSD users a leap
right over SA checking, while scanning both of our remaining Win-Lusers traffic
in both directions to protect others.
acl_(x) as flags are very handy when the action must take place in a different
smtp-phase than the detection, AND/OR the 'detection' tests are multi-part or
modified by other events.
If there is a limit to Exim's flexibility, I have yet to hit it...
