Thinking about this a little more. I don't think the problem is xmail receiving the lines that are too long, I think it might be in xmail sending out the lines that are too long.
Back to my email flow: Xmail1 receives an email with the long line. My filter sees it is from yahoo so it copies the mail file. The copy has a line that is about 1400 chars long. XMail1 sends the message to XMail2 due to domain forwarding. XMail2 receives an email with from address containing yahoo so it copies the mail file. The copy has the long line broken with a CR in the middle of it. This is what happened with xmail 1.25, and since the first xmail server wrote the mail file out with the long line I assume it probably received it ok. But the second xmail server in the line is writing out a bad line, so I assume it got a bad line. I haven't looked at the xmail source to see if the sending of a long line is the problem, just a theory at this point. Couple comments on this. It is NOT every message that gets it. Some days there are only one or two, some days there are a dozen. This is out of 100 or so emails from yahoo a day. I just started paying attention to it last November, I think it started about mid month then. None of the emails have been important (it's yahoo groups) so I haven't made it a priority. XMail1 is in the DMZ while XMail2 is on my internal network. The mail is just passing through a home router (SMC) which should not be doing anything to the mail. (Should not, but maybe someone knows something different about them). And finally, I think the line is about 1400 chars without any white space in it. I will try to paste it in here but don't know what outlook is going to do with it. One big sold mess of garbage as far as I can tell.
