A reminder about the ACL changes in exim 4.61 - obviously most people are
still running versions before this so the code needs to work for 4.61 and
versions previous.

> We use exim together with MailScanner (4.52.2). Exim receives messages at
> TCP-25 and stores it into the in-spool. Mailscanner processes this in-
> spool queue und delivers back to exim (out-spool).

> error in spool file") nor bei MailScanner ("Found invalid queue files")
> itself. I assume that MailScanner can't deal with the new format of the *-
