What are they doing that is non 2045 compliant, and how does this break Courier?

It's the other way around. They are either sending mail with 8-bit content in the headers, or 8-bit MIME content without declaring 8-bit MIME transfer encoding. Courier simply refuses to accept these kinds of mis-formatted mail.

OK. I can accept that. Just curious: Aside from spam software, who/what are the prime offenders?

Offenders: Hotmail, Yahoo-mail, just about any webmail service on the net. I am running Courier on my mail-server, this means that I have trouble receiving
mail from just about all my Danish and German friends on any webmail. I have confirmation from Hotmail that they know that they have a problem, but it
doesn't seem like they are going to do anything about it.

[Bill Michell] Also a number of automated mailers that use non-US currency
symbols (like that mail-order catalogue that I actually would like to receive).
