I guess noone needs that functionality or they patched it themselves.
I thought that it being used in the main process would have an effect on the
subprocess, but it doesn't appear to.

Next time I decide to compile exim, I'll add it. I'm ok not using
sender_host_name for now.

Thanks for confirming.
