Hello everyone,

for one of our customers using courier 0.46 mails will be frequently rejected with

- --8<-- 534 Message header size, or recipient list, exceeds policy limit. - --8<--

The reason is usually an very long recipient list (the sender should have used "bcc"'s instead of "to"'s or set up a mailing list, but for various reasons it's impossible to 'educate' these senders).

The maximum number of recipients can be increased in {COURIER_CONFIG_DIR}/bofh, but this doesn't seem to help. The error message implies there is also a limit on the total message header size.

Is this limit hardcoded or can it be set in a config file as well ?
