I think this is an admin privilege, and it only makes sense if Exim is
using syslog...

Postfix accepts and ignores them.

Postfix doesn't recognise -bP and ignores -b[hH]

This gets into 8BITMIME doom territory doesn't it?

i.e. the opposite of exim's control=submission acl clause. I think a
"suppress submission mode" for messages submitted on the command line by
trusted users could be useful.

Exim doesn't have queue groups, so this doesn't make sense for us. We have
-R and -S.

The closest Exim has to this is the idea of frozen messages, but the
concept is a bit muddled by Exim's double bounce handling. (I have a vague
wishlist item which is to offload undeliverable bounces to an appropriate
postmaster's inbox and never freeze them.)

This requires support for the DSN SMTP service extension which Exim does
not have.

This is an alias for -d 2>logfile, roughly....
