My tip would be to check your configuration. Somewhere in there the
target EMail-address is passed as a simple argument, thus seen as
command-line option.
I just checked - seems like amavis (a mail virus scanner) hits this
problem. You have to change the amavisd (if you're using it) to
specify '--' in front of the recipients when delivering the scanned
mails.
So if another software calls exim to deliver the mails, try to add
'--' explicitely.
