I am using something like:

  ## header syntax error
  deny  !verify    = header_syntax
         message   = Syntax error in the headers of your message.\n\
                     $acl_verify_message\n\
                     REJECTINFO


on most of my systems, both Internet-facing MX and internal submission
systems.

Did I also need to set "smtp_return_error_details" for this? Perhaps.

I am also unsympathetic. I get occasional queries, usually the
"Undisclosed recipients" thing. I advise them to place a real address in
the To:, and put the rest of the addresses in the Bcc: field. That
usually fixes it.
