[arch-general] fetchmail/exim line length messages

My email processing system has suddenly started throwing error messages 
on line lengths recently:

fetchmail: SMTP error: 550 maximum allowed line length is 998 octets, 
got 1047
fetchmail: mail from MAILER-DAEMON@<my email server> bounced to 
bounces+11930396-d424-darose=darose.net at sendgrid.meetup.com
fetchmail: SMTP listener refused delivery

The messages seem to be generated by exim.  (I have fetchmail configured 
to pull my emails in from my ISP's mail drop, and deliver them to my 
exim daemon.)

I've received a number of these in recent days.  The first one occurred 
on Nov. 20 at about 9.30am (EST).  I'm not sure what, if anything, has 
changed recently to start causing this.

Anyone else run into this recently, or know what the issue might be?

Thanks,

DR
