Thanks for your interest in the bug, Simon.

After discussing with the team, we reached the conclusion that this request is too broad and unspecific to be completed, especially considering it affects an old Ubuntu release. Given that it involves quite a number of patches to be backported (around 122, as per Bryce's comment), it is just no feasible to do that and introduce the risk of a potential regression for all of the exim4 users in Ubuntu.

If you would like a specific failure or limitation to be addressed, we would appreciate if you could provide instructions on how to reproduce it. We would then be able to assess the possibility of doing an SRU to address this very specific issue, which is something much easier to justify for Xenial.

If this is a really important problem for you, and if you cannot afford upgrading to a more recent Ubuntu release (where the problem has been fixed), then it may be possible to provide you a PPA with the fixes applied.

Thanks.
