Description Mike Cappella 2006-03-28 13:43:09 UTC
The forum to email gateway is producing headers > 998 chars in violation of RFC 2822.  In specific, the References header is too long, and was detected by my mail server.  In one particular thread, references is over 1200 chars:

It seems References is being used as the CC list.

This can trigger anti-spam behavior.

Matt is this something you would want to take a look at?

Sorry this report is over 2 years old... though its possible its still going on, its not impacting any services badly. Without further complaints, I'm closing this. If the issue is still going on, please re-open.

FYI we've replaced the server that sends these emails, so I doubt the issue is still going on.
