Hey Bill,
A great question. Sadly not one that I have an answer to. Half of this battle is trying to sift through cPanel's stock exim.conf which is extraordinarily convoluted (at least to me). I know that there are a thousand config combinations and permutations available in cPanel so I expect that something buried in there is the root reason for it not rejecting traffic using the acl.
I wish I knew but I think that even if I did, it wouldn't help as I have to thread changes into their rats nest.
My 2c in return; keep the change :)
Later,
dean

Been trying to keep my mouf shut, but all the while wondering why your acl_smtp_rcpt woudn't have rejected traffic for an account you can't deliver to right up front.
In which case it would never reach the router/transports.
CAVEAT: I'm probably biased because OUR users have to ask the MailAdmin to set an alias for them. They aren't enabled to do it themselves.
That way we can check if it is valid.
If they want to play independent random games with aliases that may or may not exist, they can go off and run their own damn Mailserver.
