Actually, I'm using this patch on an MTA which also accepts mail from
the net.  That's one of the reasons why I decided to use the sendmail
command to deliver messages that were fetched with fetchmail.  I can
now use the Exim ACL acl_not_smtp for the fetchmail messages and keep
the fetchmail settings separate from the other ACLs.  Here's an
example:

acl_not_smtp = acl_check_not_smtp

acl_check_not_smtp:

  # Don't scan unless the message was retrieved with fetchmail.
  warn
    condition = ${if eq{$sender_ident}{fetchmail}{no}{yes}}
    set acl_m0 = do-not-scan

  # Never reject messages that were retrieved with fetchmail.
  warn
    condition = ${if eq{$sender_ident}{fetchmail}{yes}{no}}
    set acl_m0 = do-not-reject

  accept

I tried to post through Gmane but that didn't work since the list is
moderated.  I've just subscribed to the list but disabled delivery so
that I can still use Gmane to read the list.
