The text "exceeded storage allocation" does not appear in the exim source
code.

This server is not running Exim.

telnet incoming1.fijiescapes.com 25
Trying 64.3.83.254...
Connected to incoming1.fijiescapes.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

This is not how Exim responds to things.

In short it looks like whatever mail server is running on
incoming1.fijiescapes.com has determined that 6551639 bytes is larger than
the available space in the aflores@??? mailbox.
