           Summary: Cutthrough Option conflict with Fake Reject
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.82
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: high
         Component: ACLs
        AssignedTo: jgh146exb@???
        ReportedBy: marc@???

This may be an unusual configuration so I will first explain that.

We do front end spam filtering for customers. Often we don't determine if
something is spam until the DATA ACL. But cutthrough is enabled in the RCPT
ACL.

On most spam we do a FAKE REJECT to bounce the message - yet retain a copy for
other reasons such as spam harvesting and storage for manual release. In other
words, the message is being delivered elsewhere - not to the recipient.

What I'm seeing is that with cutthrough active and then fake rejected the
message is being delivered to the recipient, which should not be getting it.

I'm wondering if there need to be code added so that fake reject will kill the
cutthrough?
