Hi Rainer,

Without consulting any documentation I'd say an 'error_message'
condition is true, if the message's sender is empty.

Contact from the remote sender:

Now, as it passed all checks, we accept (and log) the message.
> Dec 12 16:53:03 netcup exim4[13510]: 14645 LOG: MAIN


And the message has an empty (<>) sender. This it's an error message:
> Dec 12 16:53:03 netcup exim4[13510]: 14645 <= <> H=(115.73.55.172) [115.73.16.126] P=smtp S=2605
