Hi,
for some stuipid reason a customer sent out a message containing 1500 (!)
','-seperated entries in the bcc: header using AK-Mail with a qmail 1.03
smtp server for outgoing mail.
qmail-header(5) says
qmail-inject deletes any Bcc field
and RFC822 says there is no length limit on the header

Uh... I didn't say that at all, though I was intentionally vague when I said it
was the responsibility of "the software" on the remote
The only program in the qmail suite that looks at headers is
qmail-inject. If the message was submitted via SMTP, nothing in
qmail ever looked at those Bcc: headers. The submitting client
(AK-Mail?) *should* have stripped bcc fromt the headers and built
the correct envelope.
My guess is this: 1
