Package: exim4
Version: 4.63-12
Severity: normal

When an acl accepts a message with control = fakereject, the rejection
message is not split into continuation lines. For example, the following
ACL stanza:
===
accept control = fakereject/this is a very very very ery very \
	very very very very very very very very long message \
	that should absolutely absolutely be split across \
	several lines.
===
generates the following SMTP dialogue:
===
[snip]
DATA
[message]
.
550 this is a very very very ery very very very very very very very very very 
long message that should absolutely absolutely be split across several lines.
===

fakereject should generate messages the same way that deny does; consider
the following ACL stanza:
===
deny message = this is a very very very ery very very very very \
	very very very very very long message that should \
	absolutely absolutely be split across several lines.
===
which generates different (correct) SMTP dialogue:
===
[snip]
DATA
[message]
.
550-this is a very very very ery very very very very very very very very very
550-long message that should absolutely absolutely be split across several
550 lines.
