I used the method and techniques your patch implemented to refactor
the if else chain for MAIL smtp command option processing inside the
for() loop into a switch() construction. It passes all my manual
tests (interesting that swaks doesn't have any option that passes
optional args to the MAIL FROM) on my test system. I'll roll it live
next week and watch for issues (waiting until after the weekend). If
it works ok for a week and I can verify that it's actually being
exercised, then I'll submit it to the exim team.
