I'm doing this all on my test/devel box before trying it on the live server,
this means an upgrade from exim 3.35 which was configured to transport mail
to Cyrus via Procmail as follows:

# Transport
local_delivery:
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/bin/procmail -p /var/imap/procmail/procmail.global
CYRUSUSER=${local_part}"
return_path_add
return_output
prefix = ""
user = cyrus

I've transfered this to the new exim.conf with only one change, removal of
the "prefix" line which caused an error when running "exim -C exim.conf -bV"

Now email to local mailboxes gets spat back with the following:

Where exactly is the incorrect header? Any ideas how I fix this?

On a seperate note, just a gripe from a (l)user - The documentation in the
Makefile for v4 is very confusing regarding the location/name of the
configuration file. I read this:

> # CONFIGURE_FILE defines where Exim's run time configuration file is to be
> # found.


To mean "...defines _the directory_ where Exim's run time configuration file
is to be found" and the examples given seem to support this misconception:

> # Some common locations are in /etc or /etc/mail or /usr/local/etc
> # or /usr/local/etc/mail.


I initially set it to "/etc/exim" - make and make install didn't complain,
it copied configure.default to /etc/exim/configure.default. It took me ages
to figure out why it wasn't posting mail properly :-P

Thanks.
