Assumpte: [Exim] Ignoring sender address errors
Greetings all

I've recently upgraded from 3.02 to 3.20 and now have a problem with the
extra validation which appears to now be present.

I'm exporting mail from a single server where the 'FROM' address does *not*
comply with RFC822 domain format (its a form of BBS address) via exim to a
mailman mail list. It used to work OK but now barfs on the header checks
which complain

While talking to <exim-host.domain>
>>> MAIL FROM: <user@non-rfc822-domain-format-address>

<<< 501 <user@non-rfc822-domain-format-address>: domain missing or malformed.

What I'd like to do is relax the checks from this particular host (its behind
a firewall anyway) so that the behaviour reverts to that I saw with the older
version.

sender_unqualified_hosts and
receiver_unqualified_hosts
don't seem to be the answer (although I thought maybe they should).

I've done the usual archive scans and spec.txt searching but everything is
about tighening checks and not relaxing them it seems :-((
