This is very likely the problem, as I now have version 4.94.2-7
installed. I know virtually nothing, however, about how MTAs do their
work. Where and how do I make these config changes. I use Thunderbird
for mail coming from outside the local network. Exim is only used for
local transport (such as e-mail from cron jobs).

I am getting e-mails like the one below all the time, now. I had this

paniclog', but that does not seem to be working, now. I cleared it this
morning, and when I just checked it was filling up again. It looks
like I get
three lines every half hour. This is preventing me from receiving
e-mails sent
by a cron job that runs a backup script. Any ideas on how to get rid
of this
and not have it come back would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure your exim configuration matches with the version of exim you
have
installed. Make sure there is no .dpkg-new laying around in
/etc/exim4. Check /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/changelog.gz.
Notably, in /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.UPDATING.gz:
# Exim version 4.94
# -----------------
#
# Some Transports now refuse to use tainted data in constructing their
delivery
# location; this WILL BREAK configurations which are not updated
accordingly.
# In particular: any Transport use of $local_part which has been
relying upon
# check_local_user far away in the Router to make it safe, should be
updated to
# replace $local_part with $local_part_data.
Cheers,
Ludovic
