That past 2.2.6-rc2, but just before the change that introduced the
fatal regression in 2.2.6 final. So you're good there.

You misunderstand. If there is non utf8 8bit data in that field,
postgres barfs. It just shouldn't happen, and the iconv code in dbmail
was designed to prevent just that. Of course, email clients will use all
kinds of 8bit data and utf7 encoded data in headers, and dbmail will
have to deal with it gracefully. And it has for some time now. This is
the first report of problems in that area since the cleanups between
2.2.5 and 2.2.6-rc2.

Now what did the To header of that message look like I wonder. I'm not
sure it should have been a temp failure. Could this have been a +
extended address?

obviously. But that means dbmail didn't drop the message in a black
hole. That /would/ have been a real embarrassment.

That's very good. There have been some issues with gmime's decoding of
utf7 headers (which I suspect was the case here), but 2.2.10 should be
clean.

I would really like to see the To header of that message.
