Subject: [EXIM] How to read the reject log?
Hi there,
in the exim specification I found no informations how to read the
reject log.
In my case I found some entries in the reject log which could point
to some configuration errors? The log is below.

* The lines with 'martin@???' made me curious,
it should be a valid local addess, so why is it refused?
* The lines with 'ander197@???' looks like a test of a spammer?
* What does the arguments after 'H=' means?

Thx for help, Mark Seuffert
