NUL character

Hi,
I've noticed recently when I was setting up a new cyrus server (in
particular 2.3.12) bundled with postfix that cyrus
sometimes returns a 554 error saying
host blabla[cyrus_socket/lmtp] said: 554
5.6.0 Message contains NUL characters (in reply to end of DATA command)
I remember that in the past releases there was something similar (in the
past the
NUL character was generated by cyrus when large lines [> 8191 chars]
were occurring,
but IIRC that was fixed). In this case I found the NUL character was in
a end part of a mail
contaning a base64 section (and not lines longer than 8191 characters).
As result of this error, postfix send a bounce (but usually the mail is
a SPAM, so fake address).
To avoid this is it possible for cyrus to avoid to generate this error,
or ignoring or sanitizing the \0
or adding a config option for doing so?
Thanks
Bye
Giuseppe.
