The only way you can have user-selection of spam blocking is to defer
recipients who do not match the first recipient's blocking state. I don't see
that in your acl snippets.

You appear to be rejecting the message only if the first recipient has opted to
reject. If the first recipient is not blocking then you accept it for all.
