Bad SMTP headers - 2nd try

Well, seems my poor choice of examples to send convinced everyone it was
a virus sending these messages. Here are some other thoughtfully-chosen
examples to dispel that myth:

As you can see - these are not virus related. Now…anyone have any
thoughts?

I’d very much like to see what’s in the rt.log files for the processes
that generated these. Alternatively, feeding the messages to rt-mailgate by
hand in a shell will get you better errors too. I’m betting something
bogus in your templates.On Mon, Oct 01, 2001 at 07:28:39PM -0700, Phil Oester wrote:

I experienced the same bad_RFC822_field_name message before.

IIRC, it was bad template-editing on my part.
I did not leave a blank line after the first Subject: line in some of the templates, probably during a caffeine-less configuration streak, and after fixing it I think the problem went away…

Well, investigated, and some of the templates didn’t have returns after
the subject. So…changed them, and will watch this to see if it
is…er…resolved.

Thanks,
