I've played with permissions a little bit, but I don't think the
source of the problem is related to it. Permissions are not changing
irregularly or unexpectedly.

I have captured a few email that actually triggers the problem. I can
cut and paste it into a new email body and it will trigger the same
symptom again. I'm far from a solution or even knowing what is really
going on, but I have a "feeling" that (Content-Length mismatch) is
language or character set problems, or the reading of them.

My current SA version (3.1.0) functions perfectly with Exim 4.51. Any
newer version of Exim will produce this problem on my system
irrelevant of what version of SA I'm using. Maybe it's a potential
bug in Exim, but I couldn't tell.

Any link would be appreciated provided the method is during acl and
not in the router section.

Sorry Bill. Habit of cc-ing to the list. I appreciate your help in
looking for a solution to my server problem. At this point I've
switched back to Exim 4.51.
I'll continue testing on a newer version outside of production.
