This is a bug in Apache SOAP. The HTTP 1.1 spec says about Message Headers
The field-content does not include any leading or trailing LWS: linear
white space occurring before the first non-whitespace character of the
field-value or after the last non-whitespace character of the field-value.
Apache SOAP specifically does not strip the trailing white space from the
Content-Length, so when it calls Integer.parseInt() with the value shown below ("3957
"), the NumberFormatException is thrown.

because it is filtered to accept only mail from
