That is odd, because Exim sets SIGCHLD to SIGN_IGN in a number of
places. Maybe you just didn't hit any of them. Try submitting a message

.
That should obey signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN) when it spins off the process
for delivery.

You don't have to call other things as subprocesses...
I'll think about it.
