No, it's not defined in an RfC but it's a rule of thumb. If you would
strict the length of a headerline, some could attack your server with a
DoS. So you need to define a limit and in my opinion 8192 is more than
enough, if you take a look at the length of the headers on you normal
mails. Mostly spammers use such a long header line.
