Aaahhh, I get it.

Considering the amount in my logs, I'm afraid I don't have enough time in my
days to do this :-(
I'm not using the callback checking to punish people who can't read RFCs
(although it's sometimes tempting), but more to lower the amount of crap
that makes it through my mail servers.
I'm going to patch exim to do a MAIL FROM: <postmaster@???> instead.
Would you consider making that an option for a future release?
BTW, if you can tell me off hand which file I should edit, I'd appreciate
it (if not, don't worry, I'll look for it)
Thanks
Marc
