OK, almost there !! Two routers, the first, a verify_only to pass the
message through and the second to 'fail' it...
verify_router:
driver = accept
verify_only
domains = +route_to_domains
local_parts = ${lookup{$local_part}
nwildlsearch{/usr/local/exim/valid.users}{found}{$local_part}}
bad_recipients:
driver = redirect
domains = +route_to_domains
local_parts = ${lookup{$local_part}
nwildlsearch{/usr/local/exim/valid.users}{found}{$local_part}}
data = :fail: unknown user
but I'm getting an error in the log...
2007-06-01 07:51:00 [13735] 1Hu8Sx-0003ZW-GT == dann.mitton@???
R=bad_recipients defer (-17): error in redirect data: ":fail: unknown
user" is not permitted
The docs seem to agree with you that this should work. What am I
missing?? I'm running 4.67
Thanks again for all of your help. This has been very enlightening!!

To do that, you have to accept it through the ACLs (I assume that you're
only
*ever* going to do that if the sender is authenticated!), then make sure
that
routing fails. To do *that*, either add an extra condition to the routers
that would otherwise accept the addresses you want to reject, or add an
extra
router that catches the bad addresses, like this:
bad_recipients:
local_parts = foo : bar : /etc/exim/bad_recipients
driver = redirect
data = :fail:Bad recipient
or simply add :fail: records to an existing alias file. The best solution
depends on exactly what you want to achieve, what class of addresses you
want
to block; when, how many, and why. Why does Exim accept mail for those
addresses in the first place?
