OK... so the protocol then would be that courier should hang because it accepted a mail from a broken client, or the alternative is that courier having accepted the message should now go into backscatter mode. Any other solution is to suggest that courier should accomodate other mta's inability to handle such messages from broken clients, which they wouldn't have been able to handle in the first place. Of course, I'm making the assumption that courier is relaying exactly what it recieves and that the problem originates at a buggy client.
