http://git.exim.org/users/jgh/exim.git/shortlog/refs/heads/TPDA_expanded

... is my development playground for this. Feel free to grab and
make suggestions.

Summary: a rework of TPDA. Single transport callback, a variable
saying what the event is, and a second one carrying event-dependent
data. Current event set:

msg:delivery
msg:host:defer
tcp:connect
tcp:close
tls:cert
smtp:connect

It's the expansion's job to filter events using the given
information.

The intent is that the (text) expansion of the callback can affect
processing in an event-type dependent manner; so far this is only
tested for tls:cert (to deny verification).
The smtp:connect event fires just after the banner is received,
and puts it into the $tpda_data variable; the obvious thing
to do with the result (to support your conference questioner)
will be to close the connection (not done yet; how clean
must we be - SMTP QUIT?)
