Two: Not necessarily germane in all cases:
1) Avoids the need for an acl_not_smtp clause, should there be on-box
sending accounts, some forms of webmail, or other webish critters.
2) Less likely to go awry, and easier to troubleshoot with fewer places
to look.
One downside:
More likely to give rise to an unwanted bounce, as it takes place
post-smtp session. One simple acl could prevent that.
Personally, I agree with Nigel's post - simplest and least chance of
entanglement with rules for other traffic if done in a separate Exim
instance with its own configure file.
