are you running 4.xx?
If so you may want to check this followin g section ya exim configure
file:
# Deny if the local part contains @ or % or / or | or !. These are
rarely
# found in genuine local parts, but are often tried by people looking
to
# circumvent relaying restrictions.
# Also deny if the local part starts with a dot. Empty components
aren't
# strictly legal in RFC 2822, but Exim allows them because this is
common.
# However, actually starting with a dot may cause trouble if the local
part
# is used as a file name (e.g. for a mailing list).
deny local_parts = ^.*[@%!/|] : ^\\.
(note / is one of the 'illegal' chars), does that solve the problem?
(I'm assuming this arised when your server is being used to relay for a
3rd party).
