Wietse, since I do not have proper access to the application sending these simple 8bit emails (extended ascii) and I am running a dedicated postfix relay for them, wouldn't be possible to add a filter to sanitize those emails (a pipe to formail?) which in turn would return the mail to postfix for further processing (8->7 bit conversion) and delivery to the next mail relay?
