Mmmh, indeed, I hadn't thought about that.
I'll add a patch like this one in the next version.
(I  think I'll  add an  option that  doesn't add  the X-SA-Exim-Rcpt-To:
header if  it is bigger  than a configurable  size, giving the  user the
option to set it to 0)

(BTW, you want your patch to say strlen(rcptlist)<8100), you have to
acount for the size of X-SA-Exim-Rcpt-To:, the newline at the end and so
forth :-)
