All,

I'm sure that this has come up before, but I haven't been able to find the answer. I have seen the following error a few times in my logs, and I can't quite figure out why:

Oct 18 01:31:20 postal courieresmtpd: error,relay=::ffff:from=<ama...@zuken.com>: 550-This message has 8-bit content, but does not have the required MIME headers. Sorry, this mail server does not accept mail without the required MIME headers. See <URL:ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2045.txt> for more information.

Now, it's obvious that the MIME header is bad, thus the error. However, I have been getting mail from amanda (the backup system) for the last two days (see below). Is there any reason that this could suddenly happen? And now for the question that I hate to ask: Is there any way to make Courier accept badly formatted mail headers?

TIA, Kenny
