Some messages from Yahoo have sender addresses of upwards of 200 characters and are being rejected. For example: <alerts.ijytkwcjhbetoelekjpjavsmctgbxxov3qo5mfiuzyivmhqwlmi4zfguzsi5gwo6jwobyfoxzxjjhuky22krldkrjxoriuc...gjru45dyo43ha53zmmzdc3lwkbvfuqstinmw6sdhnfauirtzpizgoljn-tokenned=domain....@returns.bulk.yahoo.com> The NDR lists "501 5.1.7 Invalid address and 501 5.6.0 Data format error" error codes.
