Blank Subject in Notices to System Administrators (Exim)

[Julian Field]

Can you try this for me?
Edit /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Exim.pm and change line 480 from

         if ("subject" eq lc $1) {

to

         if ("subject:" eq lc $1) {

(i.e. add a ':'). Then restart MailScanner and see if this fixes the problem.
