Lamar,

[ I'm  cc'ing amavis-user in case somebody sees the light and decides to
end the pickiness.  Or let me know if it has already been done.  My
amavisd version is 2.4.5, it appears, vintage 1/30/2007. Or let me know
what conf options will selectively end its pickiness about the messages
I get repeatedly.  I appreciate if it can find a real mess about
attachments, etc., but quarantining two From: lines or three References:
lines just seems overboard to me.  I'd test 2.6.4 on single messages, but
it's not clear to me how to do that.  Note that a google search:

 "bad header" site:marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=amavis-user

gets exactly 1 hit, which is about IP Filter and SSH, not even about
amavis.  The howto (http://www.amavis.org/howto/) link gets 403 forbidden.
The FAQ (http://www.amavis.org/amavis-faq.php3) link yields a page of
HTML, hard to read but fairly short.  All found by a google seach for

 amavisd site:sourceforge.net

This needs work, guys.  Enough with the notes for amavis-user, on to my
note to Lamar. ]

Several messages from you to nanog have ended up in my quarantine due
to multiple References: header lines in the past week or so.  No other
post to nanog has done that.  I just thought you should know about that.

Maybe it's a kmail thing.

I'm not sure why amavisd is picky about these non-perfect headers, it
particularly annoys me on the Sun newsletters that John McLaughlin sends
(problem there is two From: lines, but they're identical, and there the
mailer is the Perl module, MIME::Lite 3.021), but that's what amavis does.

In this case, maybe if the amavisd-new and kmail developers would fix it
in some compromise if they knew about it.  Or maybe they have, and one
of us just needs to update our software, depending on which way the
compromise went.

  Dale
