I have a user asking why this message was rejected and I am afraid I don't
understand it myself. I have headers_sender_verify in the Exim 1.73
configuration file (running on SunOS 4.1.4). I think I have seen a
similar thing before, namely that the message has been bounced within a
Novell fileserver using a server/username form of address before being
bounced again to an Internet address, so the message went
PHP97LP@??? -> Exim -> bop97at@??? == bop97at@???
strines/bop97at --> strines/bop97bhl
bop97bhl@??? --> Exim, which rejected it.
Here is the entry from the rejectlog...

I hope that somebody can explain this to me (and that it is not blindingly
obvious to everybody except me!).
