Heh ... Haven't I seen your name somewhere before?

Yes, I've seen the reasoning before and the logic is obvious. Funnily
enough, Tom Kistner posted a an Exim 4.14 Exiscan kludge to the Exim
list this week which should also work for SA-Exim, for the above
situation.

However, I find it so horrible ("il s'oppose meme la nature", as my
granny might have said) that I would never use it myself. The above
question was simply a sanity check.

However, there must be an alternative solution.

Best,
