$ cd /usr/local/src/exim-3.16/src
$ fgrep 'sender in any header' *.[ch]
Then look at verify.c (the only matching file) and find:
case FAIL:
if (headers_checks_fail)
{
*errcode = 550;
*errmess = (verify_address_parse_error == NULL)?
string_sprintf("there is no valid sender in any header line "
"(envelope sender is <%.1024s>)", sender_address) :
string_sprintf("%s (envelope sender is <%.1024s>)",
verify_address_parse_error,
sender_address);
return FALSE;
}
Looks very much like a 550 to me. Is there some kind of proxy in the
way?
