Nah, I've just checked.

Some additional info. Linux users can send ok after all, so it just seems to
be affecting windows and Mac users.

The SW versions are:

ClamAV 0.67
Exim 4.3
SpamAssassin 3.0.2

I know ClamAV is very old and I'm going to upgrade Exim and ClamAV tonight
to see if that helps.

Check your spamassassin rules. Are you using bigevil.cf? That file is
obsolete, and, to quote the SARE description, "will bring a large email
server to its knees! Please Don't use unless you have to!"
