That's an unhelpful error message which has nothing to do with the real
problem (which is that an atom and a quoted-string appear next to each
other without an intervening dot), and which might point to a serious
design flaw in exim (I haven't checked the code). Exim should not think
that the colon has anything to do with a route, because the colon is
inside a quoted-string.
