Gosh! Somebody who has tried to use -oMr. Its intended use was for
messages pushed into Exim via the command line from some other world
such as UUCP, and I never considered the case of somebody trying to set
it when using an SMTP interface.
I suppose it does make sense to allow it to be set when used with
batched SMTP, but I'm less convinced in the case of real incoming SMTP
(either via the daemon of via -bs).
If you want to hack, the place to do it is line 255 of smtp_in.c (in the
1.82 release), which reads
received_protocol = "bsmtp";
You could change this to
if (received_protocol == NULL || strcmp(received_protocol, "local-smtp") == 0)
received_protocol = "bsmtp";
