Assumpte: [exim] Parsing exim.conf
People could not send mail out through a relay server after a config
change to exim.conf

Eventually found the error:


spam acl condition: warning - invalid spamd address: '127.0.0.1 783'

That is, there were two spaces between 127.0.0.1 and 783 - rather than
just one in the config file!

I would have thought the parser that parses the exim config file would
just look for white space, or at least a multiple mix of tabs and spaces
rather than explicitly one space character.

Any logical reason why its designed like it is?
