before you replied, I decided to do something different - don't know
if this is considered hack-ish or not:
I set an ACL variable if somebody is actively relaying. I do this
with one simple line in the ACL:
accept hosts = /etc/exim4/relay_access
set acl_c1 = true
so now I can deal with this variable in my router-condition:
condition = ${if and { {!eq {$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}} {<
{$message_size }{300K}} {!eq {$acl_c1}{true}} } }
I hope this is "a good way" to do this.

the file is very small (not more than 10 lines). I rely on OS-Caching
to not make that my performance bottleneck.
