This is my first time looking into exim's source code and I can't say I
am an experienced C programmer either, but it looks like you patched the
post_process_one function in deliver.c, under / if (result == OK) /,
later on there is / else if (result == DEFER || result == PANIC) / and
the final / else / described as hard failure, so I think this should be
a very simple extension of your patch, maybe just copy and paste the
following into two more places within the same function?

+  #ifdef EXPERIMENTAL_DBL
+  DEBUG(D_deliver)
+    {
+    debug_printf("  DBL(Delivery): dbl_delivery_query=|%s|
dbl_delivery_IP=%s\n", dbl_delivery_query, dbl_delivery_ip);
+       }
+  if (dbl_delivery_ip != NULL&&  dbl_delivery_query != NULL)
+       expand_string(dbl_delivery_query);
+  #endif



One could either add dbl_defer_query and dbl_deliveryfailed_query or
rather add a dbl_delivery_status variable to be used in a uniform query.
Can't make up my mind as of yet what I would personally prefer. The
former will probably be suitable in more various circumstances.

I may go ahead and play around myself, if I get anything to work will
perhaps post it to exim-dev so wiser people can take a look.
