Interesting. Exim at least has the grace to announce itself under
COMMNAND as "exim4" and under USER as "Debian-exim", so you know where

Please give me credit for knowing the difference between mail delivery
and mail collection and the rôle an MTA plays in POP3. You actually

looks as though he collects with POP3 and delivers locally to Postfix.
