Setting fakereject will cause exim to behave just like a normal delivery
except that the "550-Your message has .." message is returned. If you
discard all the recipients either individually at RCPT TO:, or all
together at MAIL FROM: or DATA, then the delivery will not happen and
all you'll get it a log line. The sender does get the "550-Your message
.." and not a 220.
