Re: [Exim] Limiting headers

The Makefile says:
# This parameter sets the maximum length of the header portion of a message
# that Exim is prepared to process. The default setting is one megabyte. There
# is a limit in order to catch rogue mailers that might connect to your SMTP
# port, start off a header line, and then just pump junk at it for ever. The
# message_size_limit option would also catch this, but it may not be set.

I don't understand this, sorry maybe I'am a little bit stupid.
