You're welcome.

Yeah, that would cause the symptons you saw.

Until next time ... ;-)

The answer is in your log files (probably /var/log/exim/maillog).
Find the first entry pertaining to a given message. That will show
how exim was given and accepted the message on the queue. With that
knowledge you can double-check your configuration and see why that was
allowed and how to disallow it.
