Since it happens after DATA is sent, presumable it's being bounced by
the check_message ACL in master's exim4.conf.  That ACL has two tests
which do not have messages attached:

  require verify = header_syntax
  require verify = header_sender

A simple message to secretary@vote.debian.org works fine, but if I
take my vote and send it to secretary@vote.debian.org, it bounces.  

Further investigation shows a subtle syntax error in the header fields
of my vote message.

Can the maintainers of master.debian.org please tweak these two rules
to give an error message rather than just "Administrative
prohibition"?
