Well, Sir, I'm only repeating what I have read (I tried to make that
clear in what I was writing). As I say, I've no idea how to do this
with exim, and so I have no statistics on how well or badly it works,
but you can read Google's top hit for Teergrube just as easily as I
can:

and there's nothing that I can usefully add to that, I'm afraid.
all the best
