I'm not sure what you mean by "post-4.43 security patches" but in any
case, I'm afraid I do not have the resources to investigate problems on
anything other than the latest release, which is 4.60 (4.43 is now 14
months old).

This does at least show a very particular set of circumstances: Exim has
sent off a bunch of RCPT commands and DATA in a pipelined connection;
all the recipients have been rejected, so DATA is also rejected. I will
take a brief look at the code that is obeyed in this situation, just in
case there is any obvious bug, but I do not expect to find anything.
I'll also check that the test suite checks this case. All on the latest
release, of course. But probably not this week.
