Well without you describing what "messed up mail headers" means we can't
really help you there. However it is extremely unlikely that Exim is causing
that. Since you are obviously using a custom package that someone build
perhaps it is something in their addons like the antivirus software. Take a
look at the email you generate while it's on queue. If it looks correct
there then Exim isn't causing your messed up headers.
As far as AOL users not getting their mail goes, well, AOL has some very
stringent anti-spam mechanisms. They will drop mail when too many copies of
the same email arrive in too short of a period of time. Contact AOL's
Postmaster group to get your site whitelisted if you can prove that all of
your subscribers opted-in etc.
