That WORKS !!! BUT STRANGE thigs is happening...

To test,i just changed to & did kill -HUP `pgrep exim`
---
deny message = Bad attachment
!demime = gif:txt
---

Now when i tried to send doc,jpeg, etc it was denied!!

I also tested sending GIF file..it came through....

But when i was trying to send a blank mail,it rejected !!!!

Only those attachments are allowed and rest all (INCLUDING blank/plain
mail) is being REJECTED !!!!

This is main.log
