Subject: [Exim] Unqualified address in header
I see a fair amount of spam that looks like this:

  Envelope-from: <jennifer_carson@???>
  Envelope-to: <xxx@???>
  Received: from dsl-210-15-193-67.launceston.netspace.net.au ([210.15.193.67] helo=lycos.com)

Note the unqualified "To" address. I have header sender verification
and header syntax verification both turned on ... but this message
doesn't violate the conditions that either of those look for.

Is there any way to detect and reject such messages? Or will I have to
code up something in local_scan()?
