could be that the machine is sending some silly info. The best thing to
try would be turning on Exim in debug mode (service exim stop; exim -d
-bd) and then having the client try to connect. Watch what Exim receives
and sends. That might help. If you have no access to an OutLook express
machine let me know. I'm happy to boot up that P.O.S. program long
enough to help debug an issue like this.
