Hmm. With Exim 4.67 I get the following error when trying that out:
temporarily rejected connection in "connect" ACL:
syntax error in "control=no_multiline_response"
I checked the documentation and it specifically says "no_multiline_response"
(not plural), but the source seems to indicate that it should be used
as plural "no_multiline_responses".
Also, in acl.c, in the controls[] definition, I also see reference to just
"no_multiline" as a variable name that's not referenced anywhere else,
but not sure if that means anything.
Is this a bug in documentation, in implementation, or am I confused?
