It would be nice if Exim included a means of executing queries without
forcing me to use what seems like a side-effect of the 'warn' feature.
I mean, technically it's not a "warning", you know.

RedHat 5 package maintainers are still rolling out 4.63 and so that's
what's in CentOS 5 also. Get the upstream guys to update, and I'm on
board with making the config changes. Likely if you change a lot from
4.63 to 4.68 then that upstream change will be a long time coming what
with fear of breaking BC and whatnot.
Now, let me see if I can make this work ...
