A while back there were some people with issues using a Cisco PIX and
wanting to be able to work around their outbound connections passing
through such a device being broken by bugs in the PIX.

Postfix has smtp_pix_workaround_delay_time and I've written a patch for
Exim to add smtp_dotcrlf_delay as an SMTP Transport option, for much the
same thing: to delay sending the final dot at the end of sending the
body of the email.  The patch is attached to:
   http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1069

However, while the code is correct by inspection and delayed a test
outbound connection when I tried it, I haven't got a PIX to test against
to be *sure* that it actually does what's needed.  I do not intend to
push this patch into the main repo unless and until we get confirmation
that it actually works.

So, any PIX users want to confirm it works?

Thanks,
-Phil
