Thanks, that is the trick.

Do you think reject in SMTP time in exim? I think, I do exactly the same.
I have a list with public mails and rewrite rules for them. I use this list in
an acl to check it's a public mailbox or not.
Of course vmail isn't a valid recipient.

I have now a fully working system. :)


Thank you all for the very useful answers.
