As far as I am aware native Exim cannot make an arbitrary HTTP/HTTPS
call to a Web Services based policy server - like Dovecot does?

The reason is to implement authentication based on username/password +
GEOIP along with logging of access attempts.

I guess I'll have to work something up in PERL as Heiko suggested...
