AFAIK this is not a *problem* - it is an artifact of a spam-reduction
setting (my settings below):
# MAIN: NOT advertise "PIPELINING" fail ratware that ignores that.
#
pipelining_advertise_hosts = :
If the original poster's courier-mta is configured to ever-and-only
use pipelining and does not shift gears when Exim does NOT OFFER
pipelining, there *will* be a disjoint.
Just as planned.
Surely Sam has provided for configuring courier-mta to respect
what is, or is not, advertised - he is very RFC aware.
