Haallpp::

I've encountered something with Exim 4.50 recently compiled. I have a
program that has literally been running for years on this server
unchanged. During the upgrade I left the filters intact but upgraded
SPF,SA,ClamAV

***I turned off SA*** to see if that was the problem. It is off in
this example

I'll take *any* suggestion, because I just don't see it. The config
file hasen't change significantly if at all since 4.12, and I've done
two other upgrades. Local mail should bypass most of the checks anyway

I have a php script that generates the following in a *file*::
------
From: Web Program <hostmaster@???>
To: carolk@???
Subject: 401K MTD Summary File
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="++Mime-Boundary+20050429000005+16516++"
MIME-Version: 1.0

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
--++Mime-Boundary+20050429000005+16516++
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Here is the csv file.

--++Mime-Boundary+20050429000005+16516++
Content-Type: text/plain;
name="pc071.csv"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: inline;
filename="pc071.csv"

last_name,first_name,ssn,address,city,state,zip,job_code1,term_date,rehire_date,start_date,date_of_birth,wage
s,employee_401k,employer_401k,loan_401k,hours,mtd_wages
<CSV Data>
--++Mime-Boundary+20050429000005+16516++--
------

This file is then submitted via sendmail in a php script direct *not*
via the php mail() call.

-----
if($mailto != "-") {
     system("/usr/sbin/sendmail $mailto < $mail_file");
     rename($mail_file, "$mail_file.done");
}
-----


And the following error pops up in the log:

-----
2005-04-29 00:00:08 1DRMfg-0004IR-Nu <= nobody@???

2005-04-29 00:00:08 1DRMfg-0004IR-Nu Format error in spool file
1DRMfg-0004IR-Nu-H: size=839

And the mail is not delivered  I now have a bunch of these sitting in 
the spool

Thanks in advance for any insight, I've been off and on this list in
the past, but haven't devoted much time to it of late, as Exim is so
stable. The integration of exiscan was the reason I bothered to upgrade
the last time. I got tired of hacking it in :).
