The message headers containing senders are:
From: info@??? <info@???>
This is not legal RFC822. It should be

since that first string contains a special character, viz @.

You must have set headers_sender_verify to cause Exim to look for a
valid sender in the headers.
That error message is a bit unhelpful. I have made a note to try to
improve it in due course - it could at least say "syntax error"
somewhere.
