The point is that you would prefer postmasters and administrators
be given a neutered tool, because of your belief that an excessive
number of folks that are running some exim mailservers are
incompetent, and have come up with a config that violates RFCs.
Geeze - if you feel that strongly about it, just block the idiots that
are blocking bounces. Problem solved. Whitelist as needed. That's
what I do, after I send them a "fix or $NUM_MAILBOXES will no longer
accept your smtp traffic" email. If the sender cares, they will fix
thier config. If they don't care, I don't want their traffic.
I'd prefer that the tools I use, and their implementation, not be
intentionally 'dulled' or obfuscated because of your discomfiture.
