Thanks Marc, you've made a valid point. I've not seen that exim
"wiki" link before.
Here's a repost with excerpts from today's exim_mainlog file, un-edited:

As I asked earlier, why is this happening? Why am I getting 30K+
entries in my log with this "(during SMTP connection from NULL)" entry
and then another few hundred with various other IP's?
Thanks again guys for your input.
