I have not got round to looking at this issue. In fact, I am not
currently spending any time on the Exim code, as I'm busy with other
things. It is likely to be some weeks before I look at Exim code. When I
do, however, this issue is 7th on the todo list.

Of course, that doesn't stop any other Exim developer from looking at it
first...

As I am not a MySQL or PostgreSQL user, I'll have to research the issue
when I get to it. That's why I can't give a quick response.
