--- Comment #14 from felipe@??? ---
(copied from exim-users)
RFC 5322 doesnât stipulate server behaviour upon receipt of a message that
violates this limitation.
On the contrary, the same section (2.1.1) that gives the 998-character limit
adds, in the next paragraph:
----
Receiving implementations would do well to handle an arbitrarily large number
of characters in a line for robustness sake.
----
While Eximâs new default behaviour is reasonable, it doesnât seem to follow
from the relevant standard. Outlook is in violation, to be sure, but servers
that accept arbitrarily long lines donât seem to be (by that virtue alone,
anyhow).
