Found it, and patched it!
l=line.GetLength() + header.GetLength();
if (l > headerlimit || l > 5000)
headercnt=0;
Why did developers put this limit on the mail header?
Today's clients and servers use to fill the mail header with a lot of
garbage and non standard headers (outlook, exchange, ecc...), and is easy
to reach it. After all we have to do with non standard software, and with
stupid/ignorant people too :-((
Thanks a lot, Bowie!!!
