  That is incorrect according to rfc 2822 (section 2.2 says,
"A field name MUST be composed of printable US-ASCII characters
(i.e.,  characters that have values between 33 and 126,
inclusive), except colon." - space is ascii value 32).
Probably the "right" thing to do for that particular line
is to ignore it, since it's purpose is to delineate the
beginning of new messages stored in mbox format (which is
not the case with dbmail).  But the header parsing routines
may need to be looked at still (eg. if a non-conformant "header"
line like that was elsewhere in the headers).
