Ok. At this point I'm REALTIVELY sure it's an issue with Exim, but I'm
sending to both lists, just to be sure.

Whenever Amavis generates a virus alert email, it doesn't make it past
Exim. This is a log fragment using Amavis-0.3.12

The same happens to ANY message that I send from. All addresses I have
tried reject as unroutable address. But I can send email to them normally!

This does not happen for messages that are passed through amavis and do
not come from amavis itself. If I compose a normal message and send it
to virustest@???, it will be delivered without
hesitation:

2003-04-28 11:08:22 19AC74-0003o0-GS <= ghost@???

2003-04-28 11:08:23 19AC74-0003o0-GS Completed

So what is causing messages from Amavis to be rejected? I have used
Amavis 0.3.12 and amavisd-0.1, no change on either. Same result.

This is driving me nuts.

Is this an issue with Exim 4.14? Is this an issue with Amavis?

I took the exim.conf lines directly from README.exim, so I don't *THINK*
there's an error there.

Any help is desperately wanted and greatly appreciated. If more
information is needed, just ask for it and I'll post it as soon as I see
the request.
