dmail issues the "bad first message line" message under the following
conditions:
 . immediate end of file on stdin after being started
 . no newline in first 1023 characters
 . message starts with a newline
 . fgets() did not write a NUL after the newline

After issuing the message, dmail terminates.  So if you are getting
"endless" instances of that message, that sounds like something is
spawning "endless" dmail processes, presumably with the same problem.

Perhaps this will help you in tracking down the problem.
