Long lines classified as "Message contains NUL characters"

[Amos]

Was there any follow-up to this?

Related to this unpleasant issue that gets repeatedly kicked around 
between this list and postfix-users, with an unpleasant amount of 
disdain I might add, has anybody implemented a hack to Cyrus lmptd to 
optionally reject such messages, or delete these NUL characters? 
Seems like an option to lmtpd to do either would settle this for once 
and for all.
