Hi,

I've a broken upstream (Postfix) that adds 'From ' lines to the mails in
the SMTP dialog. Yesterday, I've got a broken spam mail that used as
localpart “br /”. Hence, the 'From ' line was this:

From "br /"@??? Thu Mar 26 22:49:40 2009

But exim's default uucp_from_pattern didn't match this line and
therefore, exim move the whole header in the body. But exim itself
generates this From line if it is told so. Hence, I expect the From line
is correct. Or what's broken? The uucp_from_pattern or the From line?

Bye, Jörg.
