Looks like I am hitting a post, or reaching my brain's /etc ;)
I can only know "who is authorized" at rcpt time, not before.
This server handles a hybrid of "known" and "unknown" hosts.
The known ones are in +relay_from_hosts, while the unknown ones
relay courtesy of ASMTP, but they have one thing in common -
they are 99.99% resident in Kenya. So I want to allow them
access at acl_smtp_connect, but deny the rest, since "the rest"
should not be connecting to this unadvertised box in the first place.

What chapter in spec.txt am I missing?

My Exim book is several versions old ;)
