Usually, one's comprehension of a second language is better than one's
expression in that language. So, it isn't uncommon for people to conduct
conversations like this. This bilingual thread has worked well so far -
I've understood the questions but could not possibly have composed a reply
in French. I've seen other cases on this list where the English used has
been incomprehensible to me.

But, also note: this is only helpful when messages are sent on the same
connection. So, it is not usually useful for controlling spam. For that,
you would need the rate limit controls of Exim 4.6 or later.
You should be able to install the current version of Exim on Redhat.
