Status 255 means that spfquery was called with invalid parameter string.
Explanation text is written by spfquery to stderr, but stderr is not
catched by ${run{..}}. To get this output, wrap spfquery call with
shell redirection of fd=2:
${run{/bin/sh -c '2>/tmp/spfquery.log /usr/bin/spfquery ...'}}
Or use strace:
${run{/usr/bin/strace -s200 -o /tmp/spfquery.trace /usr/bin/spfquery ...'}}
Probably you have some special symbols (such as "invisible space") in
exim's config, and these symbols are passed to {$run{..}}.
