Hi,
if you really can't change the greeting of your Mercury Mailserver,
(if the first line of the greeting contains ESMTP Exim will try
to negotiate it)
the only way with exim-2.12 should be:
Change src/transports/smtp.c, Line 1065:
From:
esmtp = strstr(buffer, "ESMTP") != NULL;
To:
esmtp = 0;
Greetings,
Georg
