} how can we make Exim understand RFC1870?

} to us... here's a snippet

} MAIL FROM: <test@???> SIZE=5000 501 <test@???>
} SIZE=5000: extraneous characters at end of address

Its in 1.890.

However the other end is completely broken (its not another CC:Mail system
is it - I am seriously considering modifying our exim's to explicitly send
HELO in 2 packets just to upset them!!!).

If it said EHLO to exim it would see something like:-
250-svr-a-02.core.theplanet.net: Hello nigel at nellie.theplanet.net
[194.152.64.154]
250-Supported functions are:
250 HELP

Its been told which ESMTP functions are legal, and is ignoring that, so
the other end is in default on the RFCs, not exim.
