I don't think that is it, since -- unless I'm terribly mistaken -- it appears that the whole process starts with an incoming mail message, with malformed headers, which is bounced. What confuses me is, where does this address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] come from? Also, the more I study this, perhaps this is supposed to be a legitimate bounce by my exim, and I have exim misconfigured?
