Someone who knows the code will comment on the detail, but since
there's no opportunity in the SMTP protocol for a server to abort the
reception of the DATA portion of a message mid-stream (other than
rudely hanging up, I guess), I'm wondering how Exim would benefit if
it did what you're asking about.
