The message says "Tainted filename"
recent versions of exim refuse to open files with names derived from the
incoming message unless they have been "sanitised" eg by a database
lookup. To be certain we would have to see how the filename is created in
your config file, but you *may* be able to fix this by changing
$domain to $domain_data
