I'm not aware of any way of doing it in Exim, but, for what it's
worth, I would recommend against it. It assumes that all remote MTAs
follow the guidelines in RFC1893, which isn't the case, and even some
of these are open to a certain amount of (mis-)interpretation. In my
opinion, it's much better to return exactly what was returned by the
remote MTA for human interpretation.

Just my GBP0.02.
