Yes, but nothing relevant has changed. Having diffed the code, all that
seems remotely relevant is this bug fix.
58. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
Howewer, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
new message is started.
However, that applies specifically to "warn" statements, and your
problem was with "defer", I seem to recall. Nothing seems to have been
changed for that.
