Hi,

Spamassassin recommends a received_header_text line which include
envelope_from so that some of the tests it applies are more robust.

The suggested line is:
<URL: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/EnvelopeSenderInReceived>
which differs from the current default:
<URL: http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.50/doc/html/spec_14.html#IX1351>

       (Exim $version_number)\n\t\

It would be good if both the Debian package were modified to include
this change and also if Exim were modified so that this was the default.

Thanks,
Anand
