I knew it is only "simple to request" :)
[ I took a brief look at the callout code ]

BTW How hard would be to make exim accept incoming LMTP connections ?

I think that using LMTP for communication between intranet servers or gateway
to internal server may provide enough advantages to make it worth doing.
