Anand, Thanks for the clarification. I modified the source courier/submit.C where I changed the constant headerlimit to 2000000 but the headercnt is still at 1000. The 534 error message still appeared.
Where else do I need to change? Inside the routine there are a lot of 1000, 5000 hard coded in, and some places where headercnt will be reset to 0 and triggered the 534 message. So, any other constants I need to modify as well? Thanks again for the information.
