This turns out to be an Exim ESMTP implementation bug, not sendmail. Exim
understands "MAIL From: <..> SIZE=nnn" and "... BODY=8BITMIME", but not
"... SIZE=nnn BODY=8BITMIME" at the same time. The SPT_NONE "fix" was a
red herring, mail to slip.net works in all cases except when the message
contains 8-bit data.
Cheers,
