I am still troubled with yahoo.com connections. In general the yahoo
groups is fine.

What I think is that when the (logged) "id=" line has
"androidMobile" in it, well, THAT is junk.

Is there any way to determine the contents of the "id=" line within an
ACL? I can't find any reference to that line in "Summary of fields in
log lines".

You can access Message-ID header as well as other headers by using
corresponding ACL variables, e.g. "$h_Message-Id".

This is documented in
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch11.html
