When Simon wrote his how-to, Exim's ${readsocket functionality only
worked with unix-domain sockets. Recent versions now support
internet-domain sockets as well - so you might be able to modify the
${readsocket call in the how-to in order to connect to a remote TCP
socket.
The 2 syntaxes for readsocket are
${readsocket{/socket/name}{request string}}
${readsocket{inet:some.host:1234}{request string}}
You need to use the second one. The manual page for more info is
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.66/doc/html/spec_html/ch11.html#SECTexpop
Or contact Simon to see if he's updated his recipe....
(Note that postgrey has some Exim-specific tweaks, which might not
suit the inet socket solution)
