This is a known problem with Lenny right now:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=476987
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2008/05/msg00473.html

It is fixed in Sid, but the corrected package cannot propagate to Lenny
at the moment. (This is related to perl, on which exim4-daemon-heavy
depends.)

http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/exim4.html
http://release.debian.org/migration/testing.pl?package=exim4

I think that installing the Sid version of exim4-base is the quickest
and easiest fix for Lenny users in the present situation.
