some news:

1801548396 = 0x6b61726c = "karl"

karl + sruhe.de = karlsruhe.de, which is part of the domain uni-karlsruhe.de

I'm no expert in c-programming but it seems that a struct header_line
has been placed somerwhere in the memory where "karlsruhe.de" was
stored during an earlier stage of the accepting-process. The
first 4 characters of "karlsruhe.de" have been interpreted as the 4 bytes
of the 'int slen' of the struct header_line and "sruhe.de" were interpreted
as the 'char text[1]' part.

So something went wrong during accept_msg of the concerned messages,
but unfortunately I wasn't able to figure out what.

If this helps, I can mail the spool-files of some of the concerned
messages.
