These come from a private patch to Exim. Putting "Exim on_success" into
a web search-engine yielded:

http://www.mail-archive.com/exim-users@exim.org/msg15343.html

(and your question, pushing that down the rankings).

The patches weren't posted, that I can see, but were written by Tom
Kistner for his employer.

Since Exim is GPL'd, you can ask the gateway appliance vendor for the
patches (or at least, for the source of the the Exim they distribute).

Failing that, you should look at what the on_success option is
configured to do and decide if you need that functionality; if not, you
could just comment out those directives. You can use
exim -C /path/to/candidate/exim.conf -bV
to do a rough pass over the config file for sanity.
