Hi,

That’s interesting. Is it a script that can be called from the command line? If so, maybe Exim could call it directly, instead of using an LMTP callout.

Most sites don't like to bounce messages that they've previously accepted, so that means that the spam gets held for moderation, which creates a lot of work for list owners. If list bound mail can be rejected by the MTA at SMTP time, that would save a lot of work for list owners.
