Although I haven't run into the problem since early in our Exim experience,
I think the above makes good sense. It's possible that case (a) will
create a frozen bounce in exchange for the message which was dealt with,
but that will eventually go away...and it's also possible that the give up
message will go through and be helpful to the original sender.
