Update of /afs/andrew.cmu.edu/system/cvs/src/cyrus/lib
In directory cyrus-devel-01.andrew.cmu.edu:/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr3/brong/src/cyrus/lib

Modified Files:
	imapoptions 
Log Message:
Limit the number of message headers added to the cache

This is in response to a site that had emails with 31,000
copies of the same headers added over and over again by a
malfunctioning program.  The messages caused huge cache
records and a massive IO hit just viewing them, generating
a denial of service.

By having a limit, sane emails won't be affected, and
broken emails should still be reasonably findable because
the first 1000 headers will usually contain the important
information anyway.
