Yes, sorry, I did not want the email to become too long. I do defer
them:

   defer message = Try this address in the next batch, please.
         condition = ${if  !eq{$acl_m0}{$acl_m1}{yes}{no}}
          hosts   = !+relay_from_hosts
         !authenticated = *

So every time the individual recipient's preference differs from the
previous one (unless it is the first one), the message gets referred.

A colleague of mine has come upon something that might be the cause of
the problem - we are still investigating:

We previously had some subdomains which were valid email addresses
previously and which are now rewitten by exim - like
jspies@??? will be rewritten to jspies@???.

It seems that when an spam email were sent to jspies@???
it will be marked and sent through because wer made a mistake to put
maties.sun.ac.za in the relaydomain-list for which spam are only
blocked per domain when requested.

Thanks to you and Greame Fowler for your thorough reading of my
configuration.

Your questions made me think again about the logic involved in this
configuration.
