This is where the issue is. It says it can cope with pipelining, so exim
sends it the data that it needs to send in one batch.

The malformed response is actually in response to the RCPT TO: and is an
empty line.

It isn't actually getting as far as the DATA command. Despite the fact
that exim thinks it has sent things.

Not sure, there's probably a transport option to be able to tell Exim
to do smtp without pipelining.
