When I rejected in ACL HELO, my Exims never accepted any message, ever,
as confirmed by log entries.
Now I set flags in ACL HELO and do the rejection in ACL RCPT partially
because some Microsoft's servers (MTAs) fail to recognise a 550 in ACL
HELO and subsequently retry sending.

Can not understand how that is possible if the connection is dropped
after issuing a 550 in ACL HELO.
