Hello,

Recently  I've been having a problem with exim and I've been pulling out my
hair trying to figure it out.  Basically what is happening is that when
people send my server mail with strange From: headers the system has
problems.  Here's an example of a From: field that would cause a problem:
From: "=?windows-1254?Q?Evg=F6r_Mobilya?=" [email protected]. It seems to
be related to From fields that have =? in them.

When these emails come in, which happens to be all the time, a number of
things happen.  Firstly, the exim queue freaks out:

2009-05-17 12:33:27 queue run: process 351 crashed with signal 11 while
delivering 1M4MG2-0002y4-5z
2009-05-17 12:33:27 queue run: process 353 crashed with signal 11 while
delivering 1M1omA-0002WY-3M
2009-05-17 12:33:27 queue run: process 354 crashed with signal 11 while
delivering 1M1flT-0005z1-J4
2009-05-17 12:33:27 queue run: process 355 crashed with signal 11 while
delivering 1M5IZ7-0003Pd-K5
2009-05-17 12:33:27 queue run: process 360 crashed with signal 11 while
delivering 1M1ZXv-00007r-29
2009-05-17 12:33:27 queue run: process 369 crashed with signal 11 while
delivering 1M52Vd-00085s-FE

I'll also see a number errors like this:

2009-05-17 21:14:31 1M5qbz-00082q-1M internal problem in domain_filter
router (recipient is [email protected]): failure to transfer data from
subprocess: status=000b readerror='Success'

I'm running Exim 4.69  on Debian 5.

How do I fix this?
