Please excuse me, but I am very accustomed to the fact I am often asked "please
find a cheap and fast trick to make this thing work while people are looking at
the issue". So I find it, put it in place and guess what? People never get the
issue fixed because it now just works and they have no reason to find a clean fix.
If it is your client that has a proxy, you should maybe suggest them to put a
server with exim in place of their proxy software while the fix is being made.
