I'm not sure what it's trying to do. Exim says it has something to do with 
the "MAIL FROM:<> SIZE=2485" command, maybe XMail doesn't recognise the 
SIZE=... part? Ive never seen that before...
It's hard (impossible??) to find out what it is really doing, I tried 
tcpdump to monitor the connection but all I got were some strange 
characters... (DUH!).
