Hrm. C&W purchased Thus, formerly Scottish Power Telecommunications
Holdings Ltd, which got the operations and brand of Demon Internet.

Until Thus was purchased, the better ISP parts were Demon. And back in
the day, Demon had the UK police contracts.

So I suspect that this is a carry-over from Demon, and so relates to
mail-systems I'm somewhat familiar with -- I used to be postmaster for
Demon NL.

How accurate is my recollection / analysis?

I'm really hoping here for "other people" using Exim, not just pointing
to stuff related to a company I used to work for. :)
