"Frankly, I don't see what the Debian exim4 packages could do to remedy this." FWIW, "Mention it as a possibility" is about all. Lot's of folks are 'married' to A Patchy Server. I can't say with certainty that Xitami, Lighttpd, AolServer, thttpd, boa, or any of several other httpd might not also do something similar - the 'inheritance' issue... But they have never done so *here*, even during the several years we ran Drupal (PHP). There is probably a way to prevent Apache doing it as well...
