sounds interesting, but according to the spec, the default is already
100, and 100 email-addressed don't produce 16500 characters.

maybe the limit for header lines difffers, and for the subject it is ca.
16000 chars, while for the t-online RCPT header it is something like
3000 chars.

i don't see any oterh way than investigating this with further tests.

thanks for your help
