smtp mail_from AKA Exim's acl_smtp_from

See Mike's response.
One of the other possibilities has to do with the fact that an 'accept'
verb is 'temporary'.
If/as/when it is satisfied, the march continues. Later smtp phases or
acl clauses MAY also accept. Or may deny.
Acceptance only becomes final when all tests have been exhausted (see
also 'endpass').
A deny or defer class verb, OTOH is 'final' not temporary, as it acts
immediately to take down the session. No further clauses or session
phases are - or can be - traversed.
CAVEAT: I'm not SURE this is the reason you are not seeing what you
expect - but do have a look.
Life might be simpler if instead of an 'accept' you do a 'deny' on
!condition.
BFBI, but easier to trouble shoot, as WHATEVER is does, it does right
then and there, not later.
