I'm courious about how can such messages get into the queue? I dont know what 
the protocol says about it, but i think the MTA should do something with the 
headers of this kind before inject the message into te queue, shouldn't?

I tested with qmail by telnet to port 25, and tried to send a message with the 
":- " header in many ways, but the qmail has removed it and delivered the 
message properly. After all, in the other day my Mailscanner chrashed, and I 
found message with the evil header in the queue sent by a spammer. I can't 
imagine how is this possible?

Thanks, 
Gabor
