It looks like only this one user has this "517 Syntax error." When I
tetheral the connection, it looks like the *browser* is sending it in the
POST, right? (10.111.1.47 is the Courier server)...

You misread this packet. The "517 Syntax error." appears in the Referer: header.

This is a POST submitting a message that was just rejected.

The â517 Syntax error.â was previously captured as the error message from
sendit.sh, when the submitted message got rejected.  The original message
was submitted by a POST, it got fed to sendit.sh.  The message got rejected
with this error message. sqwebmail captures that error message, then issues
an HTTP redirect to a screen that redisplays the unsent message.  The error
message, verbatim, is included as a parameter in the redirect URL.  When the
unsent message is redisplayed the error message is fished out and shown on
the screen with it.

Then you tried to submit the message again, via another POST.  The previous
URL, that came back from sqwebmail, was the redirected GET that included the
previous error message.  Which got stuck into the Referer: header.
