OK, but wouldn't an error message in case of invalid message be

I see the same thing, but if I remove the "-h" option, I get no output.
I wonder whether this is expected. The postmap(1) man page says:
-m Enable MIME parsing with "-b" and "-h".
which (after rereading it several times) I find ambiguous. This could
mean either:
-m Enable [MIME parsing with "-b" and "-h"].
i.e. it enables MIME parsing and one gets the effect of "-b" and "-h"
options (in which case one should have got the above output), or:
-m [Enable MIME parsing] with "-b" and "-h".
but in this case I would have expected an error message, because -m
is used without "-b" and/or "-h".
