So far I haven't found any problems and I've been running it daily. I
did successfully receive one such of the original problematic emails
that I reported and it works just fine. Here is a breakdown of the
longest lines in the email:
$ cd ~/Mail/inbox
$ cat 3462 | awk '{ print NR, length }' | sort -k 2n | tail
5 71
9 74
19 75
28 75
11 89
38 91
88 126
65 170
103 225
115 4467120
As can be seen, line 115 is one massively long line. Oddly enough, I had
trouble forwarding it on my SMTP server because apparently I hadn't
allocated enough memory for it to forward such messages; after I
increased the amount of memory it was able to traverse the queue so I
could POP it.
I've also attempted to contact the producers of such emails, however,
again I haven't even received an acknowledgement of the bug.
