Public bug reported:
apticron generates corrupt messages according to Courier MTA which is
very strict in checking the messages against the standards. Here's how
I've got the message (with names and ip changes) so you can have a
better idea of what's going on:

CORRUPTED MESSAGE
This is the Courier Mail Server 0.58 on host01.
I received the following message for delivery to your address. This message
contains several internal formatting errors. This is often caused by
viruses that attempt to infect remote systems. Instead of blocking
this message, I converted it to a safe, text-only attachment that can be
safely read with a text editor.
This sometimes also happens when the sender's mail software has a bug
that creates improperly-formatted messages. Although these kinds of
formatting errors may often be ignored by other mail servers, this
server detects and intercepts improperly-coded messages in order to
prevent viruses from taking advantage of bugs in E-mail programs:

You can perform the upgrade by issuing the command:

It is recommended that you simulate the upgrade first to confirm that
the actions that would be taken are reasonable. The upgrade may be
simulated by issuing the command:
aptitude -s -y dist-upgrade
