I see a message with no body has made it into one of my users' mailboxes:

------------------------------------------------

Note that there is only the newline at the end of the Cc: recipient list
not shown: ; line. The --- are added by me. That is the whole message.

This is choking me client's pop client.

Should courier even accept message like this? Beyond another external
program to fix the message (like I did for the bad DSNs from
sbcwebhosting.com) is there any way to prevent this? Obviously, anything
that requires admin intervention is undesired. I am not saying an admin
shouldn't keep an eye on things. I am just saying he or she shouldn't HAVE
to ;-)

This also seems to open users up to a DoS, simply send them a corrupt
message or two and they are out of luck. This a DoS both against the user
and the admin...

Thoughts?
