Sam, a friend tried to sent the mail from his hotmail account and it was returned several times. As this error prevents you from receiving the mail in the first place I have no idea if this happened just once or often. On the other hand 100,000 bytes is a lot - and unless others are having the same problem I can probably ignore it.

Is this a common feature/problem? Should I adjust the header size and if so where do I do this. The most likely answer here is that Hotmail was hacked and is being used to send garbled spam. You can adjust one of the two header limit parameters in the bofh file, man courier, and search for BOFHHEADERLIMIT. But, really, do you really want to accept crap with >100,000 bytes in its header? pgpOh8lZSuZ4m.pgp Description: PGP signature -- The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel - in partnership with Geeknet, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials, tech docs, whitepapers, evaluation guides, and opinion stories.

Note that it's possible that message is misformatted. Last time I've been solving this problem, a buggy PHP script was adding the same header for over 700 times...
