Aha, but thanks to you mentioning the parameter, the mailing list
finds:
http://www.exim.org/mailman/htdig/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20020610/039825.html
from you, which I presume related to your issue. However, the version

preferably not changing anything for the 99.9...% of well behaved
hosts out there.
