Probably BOTH Exim and the antispam are transparent and 8-bit safe. It is the MUA that is at fault. I suspect the choice of outbound character encoding disagrees with whatever LookOUT! is using for INbound character encoding. Note that in your example, one can swap the nonsense-or-question-mark characters for the valid PT ones back and forth between the the two citations simply by switching the MUA (SeaMonkey ~= Thundermug) between UTF-8, and either ISO 8859-1 or Windows 1252, while choosing Chinese Big 5 makes new (and no doubt irrelevant) idiograms out of BOTH examples... Exim is not involved in that argument....
