Assumpte: [Exim] Urgent problem: Blanket rejection problem on upgrade to 4.31
On Friday afternoon I upgraded our gateway box to exim 4.31. That
evening, one of our internal mailstores (for which Exim does
callout/recipient verification) rejected a MAIL FROM because it didn't
like the format of the sender address. From that point on, exim
rejected *all* mail to that domain at the RCPT stage, saying "rejected
RCPT (result of an earlier callout reused)".

If I delete the callout cache, this stops but only until the next time
that the internal mailstore rejects a sender address. I've had to
disable callout/recipient verification while I investigate this. The
problem seems to be

    a)  Exim is now using the original sender address rather than <>
    to do callouts
    b)  Exim is not distinguishing between a rejection of the MAIL
    and RCPT verbs in the context of recipient verification


Here's exim -bV from the upgraded system:
