Most curious. I have *very* complex acl clauses in the DATA section. Yet the only such messages I have are from the same hour of the same day a year ago when I was mucking about with an acl clause that 'failed to expand...' due to mis-matched brackets. Any chance that your Exim - or that of the OP - is temporarily unable to write the message into the queue storage area due to a clash of privs, in-use-by-other, some maintenance pass being run, or lack of raw space?
