I've looked at spec.txt for Exim-4 and saw this:

 Warning: You cannot test features of the configuration that rely on     |
 ident (RFC 1413) callouts, because these are not done when testing      |
 using -bh.                                                              |



Is that of any help?

Don't let your mind wander -- it's too little to be let out alone.
