Indeed it was - thanks for the reminder. Interested parties might care
to look at Bugzilla #428 here:
http://www.exim.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=428
A patch to allow the ratelimit counter to be read without incrementing
it (/ noupdate) has been committed to CVS by Philip this afternoon, so
it'll be in the nightly snapshot as of tomorrow.
Those who requested this feature back in November would do well to test
it, either by downloading tomorrow's snapshot or applying the patch
referenced in bug 428 against Exim 4.67. Usage instructions are in the
bug report.
