IMO, it shouldn't be your responsibility to notify the addressee that 
an email sent to him was blocked. Exim, as you said before, sends the 
500 error back to the original sender, therefore, the sender should 
figure out whats wrong and realize that his email never got received, 
and then take action accordingly.
or am I way off base here?
