You can find out for yourself by looking at

ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/ChangeLogs/ChangeLog-4.30
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/ChangeLogs/NewStuff-4.30

And you can look to see if they are still on the Wish List:

I think you mean "temporarily fail" there.

No, I'm afraid neither of these items got added. There were too many
other things, including a lot of bug fixes, that had piled up while I
was away in January.

I do not know when these are likely to be considered. Now that I have
caught up, there is a chance I may make some progress on the Wish List,
but I am going to be away again quite a lot in the next few months.
However, with the move to a more traditional Open Source development
environment that is taking place, it will become easier for other people
to help.
