0.55 - gulp! Nevertheless, rejectlog is even older than that.
Check the permissions of the <exim-spool-directory>/log directory. It may
be that Exim is unable to create log/rejectlog. These days it would would
write a paniclog entry if that happened, but who knows what it would have done
in 0.55? Well, you could work it out, I suppose, as you have the source. :-]
Also you could try a bit of -d9 debugging.

I would certainly do that before declaring yourself "revenge-proof" :-)
Actually, relaying controls on e-mail are thankfully becoming commoner at
serious sites (although they have very little penetration on the Internet
as a whole). You are unlikely to attract very much attention from the
spammers if you turn them on: they will just move on to the next patsy.
