Hi, this was the best way of reporting bugs that I could find on your website.
My ISP uses DSPAM, and it violates RFCs 822, 2822 and 2047 by inserting
headers with non-ASCII characters in them. It even troubles itself to decode
properly MIME-encoded headers and put the contents unencoded in its own
X-DSPAM-Factors header. This can cause other MTAs to reject emails that would
have been fine if DSPAM hadn't modified them. An example is attached.
As a short-term fix, you can either bug your ISP to make the following
global change:
Preference "showFactors=off"
or if they haven't disabled it, you can turn off that option on the
Preferences tab of the WebUI. Personally, I think that showFactors=on
is a totally daft default; it should only be used for debugging purposes
and should not be used in production. Just because most e-mail clients
will hide headers doesn't mean that software should make a habit of
writing huge headers as a matter of course...
