Perhaps this somewhat different wording for the same error will
illustrate the problem better:
501 5.1.7 '<anyone any@domain>' address parse error: invalid character in unquoted mailbox local part.
Postfix similarly says:
501 Bad address syntax
> Is there any method of corresponding by the exim side?
I should hope not -- this is a client problem, not an Exim, Smail, or
Postfix problem. Local parts containing non-alphanumeric characters
must be quoted, like this:
RCPT TO:<"anyone any"@domain>
