1. Strange situation... I have not truncated raw message logged by DCC with
error: "DNSBL invalid domain name 'www.example.crecnum=sx-011333'".

But raw message contains a URL:
--AlternativeBoundary.22222222.22222222
Content-Type: text/html; charset="ISO-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

<a href="http://www.example.com/AuctionDetail.aspx?recnum=SX-011333";>
---
And if I try to feed this raw logged message via dcc again - no error,
domain parsed correctly. A lot of such "broken" domains in my e-mail traffic.


2. DNSBL invalid domain name "www.example.com\\userpics\\2011"
---
Raw msg:
---
<img src="http://www.example.com\userpics\2011/10-27-10a.jpg"; width="300" />
---
But some MUA open it like: http://www.example.com/userpics/2011/10-27-10a.jpg
(Opera, Outlook)


3. DNSBL invalid domain name "www.example.com\240\240"
---
Raw msg:
---
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;
">http://example.com  </span>
---
But two hex 'A0' space between "example.com" and "</span>". It googled like
"'A0' is a non-breaking space".
