I'm running the stock configuration of amavisd-new (version 2.5.1, 20070531) under Mac OS X Server 10.5.6 for virus and spam filtering. I'm getting this weird issue with users putting colons in their From/ To/Cc/Subject lines. Here's the headers from the message that gets sent:

When I turn amavis off, no such mangling occurs. Is there any way I can avoid this, other than telling my users not to use the double colons? -- Lucas Wagner Online Editor | The Gateway (780) 248-1509 work | (780) 966-7618 cell Suite 3-04, Students' Union Building University of Alberta http://www.thegatewayonline.ca "No trees were harmed by this message.
