It is not a "mystery" it seems to be a bug in deliver.c near
line 5765 ( transport_write_message ).
The problem happens only when return_size_limit > 0.
With return_size_limit = 200 I get the following results:
Sending a mail with a body length of 1 byte I get the right return
message.
Sending a mail with a body length of 200 bytes I get the wrong return
message.
Sending a mail with a body length of 1680 bytes I get the right return
message.
I have teste it with
#!/bin/csh
/opt/bin/exim bla <<END
1
END
with bla not routable.
