There is an item on the wish list to re-implement callouts so that the
code in the smtp transport is used directly, instead of having to fish
things out of the transport as now. Whether/when this will be
implemented, I don't know. Meanwhile, I will take a look at this in due
course (not for some weeks - I'm on vacation for the two weeks after
this) and see if there is an easy temporary fix.
Thanks for the report.
