Hmm... good point...

Exim in earlier incarnations (can't remember when it changed) sent 
delay warning messages by default for all messages.  Recent versions 
have the defaults changed to not send warnings for bulk/list etc 
messages - at least ones marked with Precedence.

I'll add this to the exim document sometime soon, however in the mean 
time if sites you are sending to send back warning messages for list 
mail, you can hit the postmaster there over the head with
  http://www.exim.org/exim-html-3.10/doc/html/spec_11.html#SEC196

which is the default setting since I think around version 3.10.
