Long lines classified as "Message contains NUL characters"

[Philipp Sacha]

Hi,

my mailsystem is a comibination of exim (4.42) and cyrus (2.2.8). To
prevent cyrus from getting mails with NUL characters, i have configured
exim so that it refuses such kind of mails.

Occasionaly some mails went through exim, but were classified as
containing NUL characters by cyrus. These mails did not contain NUL
characters but lines which are longer than around 8192 characters. Is
there a reason to classify such lines as containing NUL characters?
Wouldn´t it be better to permit longer lines or to print out another
more specific error message?

Regards,
Philipp
