[exim] header_syntax

Hello,

I had recently sent a message to the qmail list and one of the
moderators/list people tried to send this to me, but it was rejected.

So he told me my mta was 'retarded'.

I would assume that he being a massive qmail advocate might not be
wrong, but I don't see what I could have done differently.

Below is the part from the rejectlog

I was looking in rfc822 and 2822 and I couldn't find where it says
something relating to " <> names can't have real names in quotes" or
something like that.

did exim do this erroneously? Is the 'qmail guy' right?
