You appear to have an MTA that is not performing 7th edition
mbox-format "^From" escaping. I wouldn't have expected that this
would cause a problem, because arch should be taking each message as
it comes in and processing it as a single unit, regardless of whether
or not this was done. Of course, this would be an issue when you're
importing large numbers of messages into the archive, as I believe
that the tools probably do assume 7th edition mbox-format mailboxes.
If you can configure your MTA to perform this function, that
should resolve the problem.
