Being only slightly familiar with the way exim passes an open SMTP
connection to another instance of exim to re-use, I would suggest each
invokation passing a number to the next indicating how many messages
had been passed, and incrementing it before passing it again..

If it exceeds the max, close the SMTP session and don't pass
anymore....

If I'm off the mark about how it works just ignore me..
