Subject: [Exim] not delivering what sendmail does
I've got a system that runs a proprietary program from another vendor and
that program sends out emails to useres occasionally. Right now it is
running sendmail but I want to switch to exim. However exim won't deliver
the mail but sendmail does. I don't have any control over the contents or
headers of the email. Here is a copy of the email exim sends back after
refusing to deliver it.

A message that you sent contained no recipient addresses, and therefore no
delivery could be attempted.

*****I omitted the body here but it was ok.*****

The To: address is valid but is there something missing from this header?
The configuration file is using all of the default values.

Thank you,
