Yes. But the retry rule is not used at the time the bounce message is
sent. *That* is the point. (And it's retry ruleS - may be more than one
host involved. And indeed there may be more than one address involved
when the bounce message is sent.)

What I am trying to say is that (a) I think this is quite a bit of
design work, and then an unknown quantify of implementation work and (b)
I don't have the time to look in detail.

Most admins get this kind of information by watching the queues, not by
receiving emails.

There is no reason why this suggestion should not be added to the Exim
Wish List, of course, but I do not think I am likely to look at it in
the foreseeable future. Sorry about that, but there are only so many
hours in the day.
