Hi all

i have one problem when i try to send one mail with one line with more than 5000 characters.

for example ..

ruby -e "5000.times {print 'a'}" | sendmail te@test.com

it is fine.. but

ruby -e "5001.times {print 'a'}" | sendmail te@test.com

return :

534 Message header size, or recipient list, exceeds policy limit. sendmail: Unable to submit message.

You aren't generating a well formed message in that way. But investigating what you say, I agree. *ANY* line with a long size (header or body) causes this error message. It's OK to limit the length of the headers, but why courier imposes a limit in the body?
