I faced similar things.
The problem I had: malformatted emails. This problem occured
especially with malformatted headers.

In my case, I had a filter working on spoolfiles, changing contents.
This filter did no valid linebreaks. Whenever this filter wrote unix
like linebreaks, the delivered email was not correct - in different
ways.

If You use filters, make sure that they write CRLF (hex: 0x0d0a) as
linebreaks, aka DOS-style linebreaks.

Besides \n, some unix2dos and dos2unix implementations change special
ascii chars according to codepages addionally. If You use such tools
in Your filters, non-us-chars (spanish, french and german letters
besides [a-zA-Z], eg) will be changed as well, have this in mind.

One more thing: altermime 0.3.4 (http://www.pldaniels.com/altermime/)
seems to have problems with 2-byte-linebreaks (CRLF). The code has an
eye on this, but it does not seem to work properly.

Maybe it is a good idea to copy and save the xmail spool file as the
very first step and in addition, as the very last step during filter
processings for a while. You could review these files and check some
things.

I am quite sure that Your problem is not related with xmail code.

Hope it helps,
Hagen
