--- Comment #1 from Jeremy Harris <jgh146exb@???> ---
Does the caveat on the "timeout" option apply?
In order to ensure that any subprocesses created by the command are also
killed,
Exim makes the initial process a process group leader, and kills the whole
process group on a timeout. However, this can be defeated if one of the
processes starts a new process group.
If it does, we have no way to kill the subprocess and returning while leaving
it running would likely result in further, and more complex, problems later
when the delivery was retried.
