Sam, what about making this a user-configurable setting in /etc/courier/esmtpd or some other config file?

"Use the source Luke!" :-) It's hardcoded, can't remember exactly where but look at the list archives, I'm sure someone mentioned it before. By default it's 5000 bytes (which is much more than any email header should *ever* be.

My users ran against this limit so often that the first thing I do with all of my Courier installs is to squash it.

In the source, go to courier/submit.C and find the second occurrence of "headerlimit".

That should take you to this line: if (l > headerlimit || l > 5000)

Change it to: if (l > headerlimit)

"headerlimit" is defined as 100000 farther up in the code. If this is not enough, you've got serious problems! :)
