I am receiving emails from yahoo groups and am running into a problem.

A few (very few) of the emails have a header line them of X-YMail-OSG.
This line is extremely long and it appears that xmail is incorrectly
breaking it up into multiple lines. It appears that before xmail there
is a message with a very long line, and after there is a message with
extra line breaks and blank lines. The blank lines causes the next step
in the chain to read the email incorrectly.

My mail flow is xmail receiving to do spam filtering, passed to another
xmail server for delivery, passed to exchange or kept for pop pickup. I
make copies of the emails in filters.out.tab in the first xmail and then
make a copy in the second xmail in filters.in.tab. I can the really long
line in the first copy but the second copy has the line messed up.

Is this a known problem in xmail (1.25) and do newer versions handle it
better? 
Any suggestions on how to handle these emails? Last resort is a filter
to remove (or correctly line break) these lines before they are
processed by xmail.

I know the line is not rfc correct, but I'm not sure I can get yahoo to
filter them out.

Does anyone know who puts this header in email? What is it for?


Thanks
Phillip Shaw
