Well, what with the buffers for keeping that sort of transport 'layer'
in a High Availability Clustered Multi-Processing state, which is
essential for that service - one might be able to have egg in the beer.

Or guano..

Probably best to run 'em on separate servers...
rpl '8BITMIME' 'COLDBEER' /usr/local/bin/exim
rpl '8BITMIME' 'RFC_1149' /usr/local/bin/exim
....and restart the listeners, of course ..
Beer is online already. Priorities. y'know...
Oh 'most forgot... W/R that COLDBEER:
That IS a 'submission' port advertising ACCEPTANCE, now!
... not a cooler you can just help yerself to!
CAVEAT: ... NOT RECOMMENDED.
AKA 'Don't try this at home.'
(or anywhere, really..)
tested. working.
