Thank you very much for your response, Sam. I know that mails with very
long headers are stupid ideas, but some of my users can't understand it.
Note, that _you_ set value of headerlimit to 100000.
What do you think about my proposition of small changes in getrcpts function
from courier/submit.C file?
CString line, my_buf;
// ...
while (my_buf.readline(cin, 5000) > 0)
{
// ...
line += my_buf;
// ...
if (i != EOF && i != '\n')
{
//headercnt=0;
continue;
}
// ...
if (l > headerlimit)
headercnt=0;
// ...
}
It's only draft, of course.

Your webmail is OK, but it doesn't check number of addresses for one
nickname in user's address book or size of header with that nickname.
Cheers!
