Doing a quick test from one of our mail gateways gives the same error:


exim@vimg1% exim -f r.c.franklin@??? -v unknown-person@???
From: r.c.franklin@???
To: unknown-person@???

... so I guess the problem is somewhere during the DATA portion of the
transfer. I've done a snoop and can't spot anything untoward - the DATA
portion seems to transfer and then you get this error back at the end,
after the terminating '.' is sent.

I can't seem to get the same error by using telnet and sending similar
lines manually - so I'm probably missing out something subtle in the lines
sent.
