Hello,
Afaict the broken code in src/verify.c is completely useless in exim4.
The header name is copied to hname but the error message is generated
from h->text and hname is ignored.

Therefore this should also fix it.

Shouldn't exim reject

To        : bar@foo


at east if 'verify = header_syntax' is used?

There is another bug hidden somewhere with this because
