Subject: [exim] bugreport: weird sizes in bounce messages
Hi,

This is from a bounce message, known to be from a message 12212859
bytes in size (the message that bounced gets sent to two people via an
alias, i got it quite ok, but the other guy didnt):

(exim 4.52)

8< - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - >8

Received: from exim by s001.ii.nl with local  (Exim 4.52 #6)

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  ...@...
    (generated from ...@...)
    SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<...@...>:

8< - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - >8

It seems that 457.396.849.191.571 bytes is rather excessive, and the
negative number of bytes seems weird as well :)

I've checked the source a bit (src/transports/autoreply.c) and this
bug seems weird as it occurs in pretty trivial fprintf(). Could it be
that there is something wrong with my build environment (which
wouldn't surprise me at *all*)?
