For already-received messages + in your queue, try util/chunking_fixqueue_finalnewlines.pl + to walk the queue, fixing any affected messages. Note that because a + delivery attempt will be hanging, attempts to lock the messages for fixing + them will stall; stopping all queue-runners temporarily is recommended. + + * OpenSSL: oldest supported release series is now 1.0.2, which is the oldest + supported by the OpenSSL project. If you can build Exim with an older + release series, congratulations.

Version 4.23 saves the contents of the ACL variables with the message, so that they can be used later. If one of these variables contains a newline, there will be a newline character in the spool that will not be interpreted - correctely by a previous version of Exim.
