Even when it was first released, Exim 4 had a Wish List because not all the
things suggested for it were implemented. The list has not stopped growing...

Is this really worth it? A per-transport value is also suggested - that would
mean remembering the value with each failed address and taking a minimum or

+A client could in principle keep an SMTP connection open for a very long time by
trickling in data very slowly. Also, after message_size_limit is exceeded, Exim
continues to swallow the data (though it does not write it to disk) until the

This should be very simple to implement and will allow to make
some experiments and implement custom extensions, i.e. one to
known if remote client will redirect on 551 or not. Also the acl
