Well, the reason for the bounce is a malformed address, that's indeed
clear from the message.  However, if I simulate the problem by passing a
malformed address to exim -i, I get the second log line, without the
R=... part, as expected.  What I don't understand is the first log line,
which quotes the message id 1RjkC8-0007ue-15, but that message id has no
other trace in the logs whatsoever.  How is this possible?
