Yes, there certainly were problems relating to the callback but I had
hoped a bit of clever routing would get me round that.

It turned out that there were files missing from my - split - config.
I was missing quite a few. Here what I had:

40_exim4-config_check_data
10_local_acl
30_exim4-config_check_rcpt
20_exim4-config_whitelist_local_deny
00_exim4-config_header


Here's what I should have had:

20_exim4-config_whitelist_local_deny
30_exim4-config_check_mail
30_exim4-config_check_rcpt
40_exim4-config_check_data
20_exim4-config_local_deny_exceptions
10_local_acl
00_exim4-config_header


I have no idea where they went but once they were back in place, it
began to work as expected.
Thanks
