You folks on the Exim mailing list make an excellent extended memory! :-)
It saves me from too much CRAFT syndrome.

The client code does seem to do this. The comment reads:
/* Handle a response to DATA. If we have not had any good recipients, either
previously or in this block, the response is ignored. */
There's nothing in the ChangeLog to suggest that this is new code, so it
should have been doing this for some time. Of course, the code that
follows may well be buggy.
However, this thread is all about what happens at the server end, which
of course is a different part of the code altogether.
