Hi Benoît,

A lot more than ISPConfig has that error string. For example, I've
encountered it from an site using Amavisd in response to invalid MIME
encoding in a campaign.

I'd be looking at the actual originating message to see if there are any
obvious abnormalities with it, such as duplicate headers etc.

Ken.
