There are rules in the RFCs about maximum line length.

Hmm. Looking at the code, all I can see is logic for splitting the
message at embedded newlines, and this doesn't seem to have changed
between 4.10 and 4.14. I can't see any code for splitting at
non-newlines. What is your configuration that generates this message?
