It's happen only with [] chars - if I'll change it to say {}
everything is fine.

It gives errors on exim -bt '[] <email@domain>' but goes fine with
'"[]" <email@domain>'.

That's why I stick to Exim :)

MvS> Anyway do you have headers_check_syntax set? What is headers_check_fail
MvS> set to?

I've tried all combinations of these options without success.
