Courier is modifying the mime boundaries of our outgoing mails. The problem:

Some few recepients are using a greylisting which hashes the complete mail. Ours mails are not accepted on the second attempt, because Courier creates new boundaries on every resend (see details below).

Most important for me: It seems like a bug for me, that courier creates new boundaries on every resend attempt (I am not too happy with greylisting, but that's not the question here). The result is, all mime formated mails are not accepted.

Besides I am interested why the boundaries are reformatted anyway. I could not google any explanations, maybe somebody has a link or some info? (I admit I am not too familar with courier. Sorry if this question is too "newbie" in this list).

Now the details:

1) Original body of our outgoing mail:

This is a MIME encoded message.
