Hello Fred,

Actually that's not relevant, since you are not doing a delivery. In
Yes, that seems to be correct...
spec.txt, see section 22.6 (Special items in redirection lists),
which includes:
* An attempt to deliver a particular address can be deferred or forced to
fail by redirection items of the form
:defer:
:fail:
...
In the case of an address that is being verified from an ACL or as the
subject of a VRFY command, the text is included in the SMTP error response
by default. The text is not included in the response to an EXPN command.
I doubt this is working, without including $acl_verify_message like Mark
suggested...

As you've already figured out, that message was generated by the
offering MTA, not your exim.
Yes, the bounce message is generated by the upstream host, but the '550
unknown user' *is* coming from my host.
Because the offering MTA is, how to put this, not as well written as
exim. It is ignoring the text you sent, rather than passing it back
to the sender where it may do some good.
Your exim is already doing what you want, that's the best you can do.
You are not responsible for all the lameware out there.
Well, actually the other host is also running Exim4 (and is under my
control) ;-) So this doesn't hold i'm afraid. I think the only way is to
include $acl_verify_message when denying the message.
However, that still does not change the fact that for this action, the
log message is different from the actual 550 response, which can be a
bit confusing imho.
