humble opinion:
this feature will be used if at all for about a month whilst mail client
people scramble to fix bugs introduced by bad programming practises (i.e.
lack of peer review, poor testing etc).
I think this, as a feature of Exim, could in the long run actually cause
more problems than it solves.
I'm sure a quick hack could be introduced but I'm not sure it'd be a good
thing to make it a permanent feature of Exim. There's already been a lot of
work-rounds for badly behaved non-rfc systems, when will Phil have to stop?
Just my VVVVHO
