So long as the delivery completed, the lost "close_notify" and TCP FIN
are harmless, though do delay local end process cleanup. Since Exim is
the client, it could skip waiting for the QUIT response, just send
QUIT<CRLF>, perform an SSL_shutdown(), and close the socket without
waiting for a response. Postfix has taken this approach successfully
for almost 20 years:
