The http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html spec says
"To deal with invalid host names, replace / with \057 and : with \072",
however it does not mention replacing a space with \040.
Only / and : would break the maildir itself, but it would still be good to
make it nice for shells and imapds.

I don't think exim should have to defend itself against every stupid thing that
root might do.

Is this a root or a DNS resolver failure? DHCP?
