These limits are perfectly reasonable. If you're hitting it, you have something else that's broken.

It's right with one exception: due to minor logical error in submit.C or intentionally 5K length limit is applied not only to the single header line but to the single header with properly wrapped (beginning with space or tab) lines too. It leads to the bounces of absolutely RFC-compliant messages with relatively short (< 10K) multiple recipient To: or Cc: headers.

For the time being I've applied attached patch but I'm not absolutely sure that it will not entail any undesirable consequences, because single header can now reach "headerlimit" (100000 bytes) length. Maybe Sam will suggest more correct solution.

Alexei.

This is absolutely what I saw. Thanks for the patch. The email in question had 110 recipients and the total size of the to header was about 5300 bytes.

Doug.
