Do you use a variable $header_... or $h_... in Exim config? Such as $header_from: , $h_from: , $header_subject: , $h_subject: 11.5 Expansion items in Exim documentation/specification. If yes then change to $rheader_... If that helps then change to $bheader_... and tell us what works and what doesn't. I more suspect broken iconv (charset conversion) in your system than a problem with decoding. > > Here are some of them that are sitting in my queue: > > > > From: =?koi8-r?B?8MXU0Q==?= <[email protected]> > > From: =?windows-1251?B?7C7W4uXy7e7pIOHz6/zi4PA=?= <[email protected]> > > From: =?windows-1251?B?8eDp8g==?= <[email protected]> Definitely spam (in Russian). > > From: =?koi8-r?B?7sHUwczY0Q==?= <[email protected]> Most probably spam > > From: "=?iso-8859-9?B?S2FodmFsdP0gTWVrYW79?=" <[email protected]> Most probably too. > > 064F From: "=?windows-1254?Q?Evg=F6r_Mobilya?=" <[email protected]> Most probably either spam or Nigerian scam. > > Subject: =?windows-1256?Q?DEAR_FRIEN?= =?windows-1256?Q?D_PLEASE_R?= Problems with messages in different charsets and the fact that others don't complain of the same problem suggest that the problem is local for your instance of Exim+OS. What OS? Exim version? Did you compile Exim on the machine where it runs? -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
