But, actually, that's not an unreasonable request. We're talking about call
forwards. Exim MUST have access to the reply after a call forward, which IS
being used in an ACL. I don't know the code, but I'd imagine it would be
reasonable to ask that more information about the call forward is made
available.

I'd like to be able to get the SMTP greeting from a callout, so that I can
log statistics about server types, for example. And, so that I can better
advise third parties with misconfigured servers.
