Today I encountered this on the python.org mailserver:

Jan  2 14:49:54 albatross postfix/cleanup[5983]: 949B8EE99E: reject mime-error 
improper use of 8-bit data in message header: To: Alice Bevan?McGregor 
<al...@....com>, web-...@python.org from localhost[127.0.0.1]; 
from=<p...@....com> to=<web-...@python.org>

which resulted in this:

Jan  2 14:49:54 albatross postfix/smtpd[4866]: proxy-reject:
END-OF-MESSAGE: 554 permanent error; from=<p...@....com>
to=<web-...@python.org> proto=ESMTP helo=<sparrow.telecommunity.com>

In the bounce, pje only got the "554 permanent error" message.

master.cf has:

smtpd     pass  -       -       -       -       -       smtpd
        -o receive_override_options=no_address_mappings
        -o smtpd_proxy_filter=127.0.0.1:8025
        -o smtpd_proxy_options=speed_adjust

127.0.0.1:8025 runs a spamfilter written in python. So the question is
- can I change something in the spamfilter to pass the error code back
to the original client?

On the other hand I'm wondering what that invalid 8-bit character
might be, since it LOOKS like a space in the bounce I got from pje.
