I suspected that as well, but the answer seems to be no.  Several were 
from meetup, a couple from groups.io, one from a company, etc.  Seems 
like something changed somewhere but I can't figure out what.

In the mean time, I commented out that "998 octets" check in my 
exim.conf.  I realize that emails that have lines larger than that are 
violating spec, but there's no real harm in allowing them in - since I'm 
already using good spam filtering, and especially if I know that I'm 
losing legit emails because of this.

Thanks,
