Ever since upgrading to Exim 4.91, legitimate email notifications are being rejected with an error "T=remote_smtp: message is too big (transport limit = 1)".
This appears to be related to a new ACL in Exim as described here to block messages that contain lines longer than 998 octets :
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=828801
A macro was supposedly added to v4.88~RC6-2, which disables this ACL named IGNORE_SMTP_LINE_LENGTH_LIMIT and to disable the ACL you can configure it to 1.
In my configuration, I have a server that sends email notifications. This server uses another server as a smarthost. I am running centos and have a config at /etc/exim/exim.conf on both servers.
I can't seem to disable this ACL no matter what I do.
I have added IGNORE_SMTP_LINE_LENGTH_LIMIT=1 to the top of both servers exim.conf files and continue to get errors.
Any suggestions on what to do?
