Maybe you could fix it?
Heh. That's a good suggestion... ;-)
Some of the threads on this list are insane. It would take far less
time and effort to simply edit the 2-3 lines of code and recompile
than to argue technical minutia day after day and get nothing done.

Anyway, how do they get 5000 characters on a line? They must be trying
hard, as I rarely send emails with anything near that amount of
characters, and any decent email client linewraps at 80-100
characters, even hotmail! Exactly what client are they using, and what
are they trying to do?
I hav
It is significant that the rfc says, "the body is simply a sequence of
characters", rather than a sequence of lines. This could be
interpreted
to mean that the body has no line length.
Exactly. I'd never write software that spit out huge lines myself, but
I'm having a really hard time explai

Hi Sam,
We've had a number of people complain about Courier refusing to accept
messages with the "534 Message header size, or recipient list, exceeds
policy limit" error. Problem is, their messages don't exceed the limit
in the headers. (I can send you tcpdumps of the smtp transaction
