Well, anything is possible I suppose. It's a good question; I did wonder if it
was a client certificate issue, but I assumed Exim wouldn't complain if a
client certificate (even expired) is presented when not requested. (Hence why
I started looking at the server certificate). Would we consider that an Exim
bug if so?

Good idea - I'll see if I can capture next time they retry.
