Yes, that sounds right. Before I stopped these messages being accepted
by Exim, it was trying to pass them on having accepted them, only for
them to be rejected by Exchange because of the invalid sender address
(the call forward having succeeded because the recipient address was
valid). That left Exim having to send a bounce (which is what I wanted
to avoid!)

Yes, Exchange 2003 can be set up to reject invalid recipient addresses
at SMTP time (which is what allows the call forward to be useful).
