Maybe the no-fsync stuff should be limited to non-daemon mode operation?
I think "exim -qff" would do the trick for Michael, (and for me)
wouldn't it? Michael?
That would at least prevent people from running "exim -bd" or "-q5m"
ordinarily. We could just ignore the no-fsync option or abort during
startup.

If the Debian people will activate this switch at least in their -heavy
package, I'd second that. Andreas, do you think you can bear the risk?
At least with the above modification? I'm not sure whether I would.
