Thanks, that worked. I switched to smail temporarily and then back to exim.
I use fetchmail to get some of my mail. exim got the first few messages,
but now it refuses the next message in the queue. Is there a way to
get exim to accept this message? I didn't see this mentioned in the
fetchmail section of the FAQ. I'll switch back to smail again so I can
get clean out my POP queue.
Message with strange address that exim is rejecting:

After switching to smail and retreiving the message, I noticed that
was generated by exim at work. (I fixed the .forward file that was
causing this message.) Here is the message in the smail input queue
after retreiving it with smail:

Thanks, that's a good starting point. I'll try it when I get exim working
again.
