Their system is crappy. I have had several flamewars with these people about
their "virus detection" software which just loves to send tons of those
emails when it detects a long subject line.

Ug. If only they wouldn't respond to "Precedence: Bulk" addresses...anyway,
I got moderator messages from them and didn't approve them to the
list...personally, I would just rather block their entire domain as a spam
sender...

It seems to be related with the length of the subject line, that could 
crash some mail agents overflowing a buffer.

I'm sending copy to [EMAIL PROTECTED], to see if there is a 
simple solution to trim the Subject of cvs generated mails to a given 
maximum length.

If not, I would suggest messagelabs.com to unsubscribe all of their 
people from the jakarta.apache.org lists, to avoid us their spam.
