Those 388 probably explain why I just saw on a FreeBSD-6.4 host:

] fetchmail: SMTP error: 552 5.6.0 Headers too large (32768 max)
] fetchmail: mail from MAILER-DAEMON@........ bounced to owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org
] fetchmail: SMTP listener refused delivery

My sympathies go to postmaster@ team who are probably already
receiving lots of bounces & noise on this.  

PS Yes I realise I should upgrade that 6.4 box to 8.2 
	(as headers made it through the more modern SMTP of list
	server), but my local tech. constraints etc delay me ).

Cheers,
Julian
