Yes, Courier tends to be quite strict with RFC compliance.

Hmmm...  This question comes up on the list quite regularly.  You
should have found the solution in one of those threads.

Don't know about this.  AFAIK, Courier just gives the one error for
any message with screwy mime headers.

Just add this line to the file /etc/courier/bofh (or wherever your
Courier config files live).

     opt BOFHBADMIME=accept


BTW: You'll get more answers (and it's easier to follow the thread)
if you give your emails a subject line.
