It is:

key1\n
key2\n
etc.

I have checked to make sure the keys are in the user_list.txt file, and
they are there...(otherwise, it would *always* return the 550 error code).

Also, here's a telnet session to the exim daemon (while running as 'exim
-bd -d -oX 2000', and without restarting). I have three different sessions
below, you can see the different combinations that cause the error to
happen..

I hope you find this useful.. session #2 is pretty interesting...

(I hide the id string as a sendmail daemon for obscurity reasons)
