Many thanks to you for your pertinent display of refreshingly good logic
and generous commonsense presented with decorum, diplomacy and
eloquence.

I have adjusted my acl_smtp_data filter to:

deny    message       = [C61] TO header missing. Msg2
        !recipients   = exim.users@???    
        condition     = ${if !def:h_To: {1}}


Best regards,

Paul.
