I would like to know why the real maximal length of To: header is only 5000 characters?

I'd like to ask a different question: why is it necessary to have single mail headers that are over five thousand bytes long? This is completely unreasonable.

Thank you very much for your response, Sam. I know that mails with very long headers are stupid ideas, but some of my users can't understand it. Note, that _you_ set value of headerlimit to 100000.

What do you think about my proposition of small changes in getrcpts function from courier/submit.C file?

CString line, my_buf; // ... while (my_buf.readline(cin, 5000) > 0) { // ... line += my_buf; // ... if (i != EOF && i != '\n') { //headercnt=0; continue; } // ... if (l > headerlimit) headercnt=0; // ... }

It's only draft, of course.

Seems a bit excessive to me, and it points to a poorly-written mail client.

Your webmail is OK, but it doesn't check number of addresses for one nickname in user's address book or size of header with that nickname.

Cheers!
