There has been some news lately about the fact that certain folk are
exploiting a bug in some email clients. This bug compromises security if
the MIME headers are long enough to overflow the buffers alloted to them.
The Sendmail folk have produced a patch that allows the admin to truncate
MIME headers in the MTA, before they can do such damage:

Is such a facility worth considering in Exim?
