Personally I would want to avoid embedding that sort of thing into exim
- it would mean the various distribution mirror sites having to
reconfigure to avoid falling foul of the US spooks. Additionally at
this stage working our exactly what you want to do would be
problematic, so I would lean towards using the stunnel type stuff as a
front end to exim. With a very small amount of additional coding
stunnel could be made to invoke exim in SMTP mode having passed it the
appropriate parameters as to originating IP etc.
