seems like a too long Subject may be one reason. i tested long lines in the body and long subjects: - body line with 20000 chars is no problem for mailin06.sul.t-online.de - subject with 16373 chars is no problem for mailin06.sul.t-online.de - subject with 16375 chars is rejected with "500 5.6.1 Line too long." but i doubt that people send mail with subjects > 16373 characters. so there may be other cases, where the t-online mailserver responds with "500 5.6.1 Line too long.". my tests also showed, that courier for example rejects any mails with subjects longer than ca. 4990 lines. > > if this is true, does exim support to automatically break long lines > > before transmitting the message to mailin06.sul.t-online.de? > > No, though you could use a transport filter.

Much better to just send sensible email in the first place, as > Suresh suggested. the problem is that newsletters are sent through this server, and some of them have more than 50 t-online addresses subscribed. and for some reason the error happens quite often. i will see whether i can get one of the mails that produced such an error. but the error occurs only for t-online addresses, all others receive the newsletter. ... jonas -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
