Hi Jaroslaw, In this context, it's not about the ability to recognize the message, as unique IDs and postfix long queue IDs can handle that effectively within the 200-character limit. The primary concern is having the capability to log full header values. As Gerald illustrated with the example of logging Subject as INFO using header_check, this feature is currently restricted by the static 200-character limit.
While this particular use case might not be applicable in your scenario, it's worth noting that others find it beneficial for various reasons. Having the flexibility to configure this limit would cater to a broader range of user requirements. Your understanding is much appreciated.

Even if every character is encoded as two bytes, does ANYBODY who sends an email use a subject so long that first 100 characters are not enough to recognize the message? It seems a completely unreal scenario to me. If somebody used so long subject lines, with the LAST characters being the most meaningful, then the recipients themselves wouldn't be able to recognize the messages properly, because most email clients don't display as many characters in the subject when displaying a list of messages in the inbox. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ Postfix-users mailing list -- postfix-users@postfix.org To unsubscribe send an email to postfix-users-le...@postfix.org _______________________________________________ Postfix-users mailing list -- postfix-users@postfix.org To unsubscribe send an email to postfix-users-le...@postfix.org
