I have been noticing that a significant number of our Exim bounce
messages are not getting through the Yahoo mail system of late. Our
mailmaster is receiving the following the message from Exim
> Message 17kWhQ-0007Zb-00 has been frozen (delivery error message).
> The sender is <>.
>
> The following address(es) have yet to be delivered:
> briellehmtcfawwcbd@???: SMTP error from remote mailer after end
> of data: host mx1.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.130.17]: 552 Put ,E=\r\n at
> the end of Mether, Mtcp, or Msmtp in sendmail.cf if you are using
> Solaris 2.5 (fixed in 2.5.1). I cannot accept messages with stray

On investigating the bounce message in question there is indeed trailing
newlines but it is from the original message. Is there are way that we
can configure Exim (in this case 4.10) to strip trailing newlines before
submiting?
Thanks
