Found this in the archives:
-------
Courier has a 5k hardcoded limit for header size on messages.
You'll find it in courier/submit.C in the source. Look for the line that
says
if (l > headerlimit || l > 5000)
This means if the total header length is great than 5k courier will reject
the
message. Remove the second half of the test so the line looks like this.
if (l > headerlimit)
and rebuild courier. 'headerlimit' is a constant defined in submit.C as
"100000", which ought to be big enough for any header!
If you patch submit.C then you shouldn't see this error again.
