Whether it is "absolutely impossible" or not is not interesting at
all; the big question is whether it can be done with reasonable
expenditure and 100% reliability, and the answer to that seems to be
"No".
Exim's author has written a conversion script (installed as
exim_convert4r4) that is already quite involved but far from the
status of reliability required for _automatic_ conversion.
