Aihe: [exim] "Format error is spool file" in /etc/exim/main.log
Hi,

I have a clean CentOS 6.4 server and installed Baruwa using Jeremy McSpadden's installer script (https://github.com/fluxlabs/baruwa/blob/master/2.0/cent6/install.sh) Which installs Baruwa (and dependencies, including exim).

I can telnet into the server (telnet 192.168.0.200 25)
and create a mail thus...

But the message never gets delivered (forwarded) to our Exchange server.

The /var/log/exim/main.log gets the following lines added to it...

2013-05-20 12:28:35 no host name found for IP address 192.168.0.109
2013-05-20 12:28:50 1UeOGc-0003Ej-9S <= it@???<mailto:it@mycompany.co.uk> H=[192.168.0.109] P=smtp S=239
2013-05-20 12:28:50 1UeOGc-0003Ej-9S Format error in spool file 1UeOGc-0003Ej-9S-H: size=581

There are two files in /var/spool/exim.in/input 1UeOGc-0003Ej-9S-H and 1UeOGc-0003Ej-9S-D

I am assuming that this is an exim issue, because the error appears in the exim log file...

How do I fix this?
