That was going to be my next thing to try :)

I can start looking in the source to see if that's in the latest
package.

Yes. I only update exim (or anything) when I have to, due to how many
times I've been burned by upgrades that broke me in various ways. In the
case of the now half maintained sa-exim which I still use (yes, I suck,
I'm the original author, but I moved on to other things), I also have to
be careful as newer exim can break sa-exim.

Thanks for the pointers, I'll look for the best solution depending on
whether that patch is in a debian package, or not.
if not, I'll read the docs on how to disable pipelining on my backup MX.

Thanks,
Marc
