Postfix, Sendmail and Courier (but not OpenSMTPD) all have the “-N” option for 
setting DSN options.

It is surprising to me that Exim got DSN support, actually: one could have had 
the DSN format without the SMTP extension and IIRC Exim held out for a long 
time on MIME-encoding returned mail in bounces. I’m not complaining, mind, but 
Exim’s monolithic design means that having an argument to the binary would be 
helpful as it could be used as DSN-aware submission client (or to submit mail 
with DSN options where the SMTP receiver is offline, if that’s important). And, 
for my purposes, it’s the difference between implementing a simple pipe proxy 
or an SMTP proxy (not hard, but harder).

Cheers,
