Subject: [Exim] empty line in headers, was it exim list server?
hello,

Last Thursday I got three list emails where the headers appeared
broken by an empty line. I have just now found out that this was
noticed before, I have just one note to add. It appears that the
extra headers that at the time was broken, is added by
exim-colo-01.whoc.theplanet.co.uk. May I just ask what for? I notice
that some more messages are coming through with this header added,
this time "properly". If this is to tag messages for later scoring,
couldn't it be deleted before the messages leaves the system? Also,
what is the point of including the descriptive text, risking that a
DNS or a dnsbl problem break the headers once again? This is an
example:
