I can see that there might be. There is this item on the Wish List:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(123) 02-Jan-03 M ACL option to suppress pipelining
This would be used in a HELO ACL to suppress the advertisement of pipelining.
Also, Exim should enforce more synchronization when it has not advertised
pipelining.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The point of making it an ACL option is that you could then do it
selectively, on a per-host basis.
