That is a workable solution actually, I could arse with it in terms of
a wrapper. A bit of a pain for a daemon, but it could be done...
especially if I run exim on a different (firewalled off) port and
just get the wrapper to pass information through. Hmm.
I still think a hook to an external routing would be useful, but
that is a helpful idea. Thanks.
