Hi,

for some stuipid reason a customer sent out a message containing 1500 (!)
','-seperated entries in the bcc: header using AK-Mail with a qmail 1.03
smtp server for outgoing mail.
qmail-header(5) says 
   qmail-inject deletes any Bcc field
and RFC822 says there is no length limit on the header

but what happened was that several adresses bounced and the bounced
messaged were sent to all the 1500 adresses listed only in the bcc field.
Obviously qmail-inject did not remove the bcc correctly.

So, is there a limititation on the header in qmail? The header above was
about 29469 bytes long, the bcc field about 27617 bytes.

Any idea?
