That would require a new version of exim each time a country changes something on their requirement. IMHO it would be much better to have a "LogFormat" option, which would simply list the fields required in which order, like envelope-from;envelope-to;date;..... That way changing anything is as easy as changing this line in the configuration. A FAQ-entry could list the requirements currently in force by different country.
