ChangeLog for 4.21 has this:
38. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
remaining text gets split now.
I thought there was a change or a request for no splitting, but I must
have been dreaming, because I can't find anything. It would be esy
enough to have an option, of course.
