Someone is currently sending a VERY big wave of spam that includes bogus
X-Scanner: headers with exiscan's signature. The bogus headers look like
this:
X-Scanner: : exiscan for exim4 (
http://duncanthrax.net/exiscan/)
*N5k6ECBnWGKt12NarMPIfkmU*
Note the double colon and the fake crypted message ID (there should be
three asterix chars in there)

I guess these postmasters reject mails on grounds of these spam
characteristics. They can fine tune their checks to look for the double
colon, then everything should be OK.
Feel free to forward this message to them if you want to.
