Hi.

A campus department sent out messages today that (each new one)
kept triggering the
$quarantine_description='Illegal breakage found in header name - potential virus';
part of the qmail-scanner-queue code. I'm running stock v1.16
here with bad_mime = 1. If I look at the perl code and what's dropped
in the quarantine directory, I can't figure out what it was seeing
that was bad. Here's a head and tail of one of the files.
I looked at the file there with a dump program, and the file
as retained there doesn't have anything odd I can see. (newlines for
example are there). As it was, I turned off bad_mime to keep remaining
incoming message from the same fate. I'd like to understand why
this happened. Can anyone see why?
