ahh hold...

now i understand... yes this might be the problem that happened some weeks
ago aswell. its not because the message got overlenght or something its because
the FROM: TO: headers contained some shit. e.g. some months ago i created and
sent some emails and i wasnt able to sent them out because i got some info about
junk ... dunno anymore .... and the mails were lost. i wasnt able to figure out
this and then i sent the emails through sentmail with the same issue but after
verifying the headers of the mail, in the spool directory, ive detected they
were broken or something. they contained some binary shit... i always thought
this was seriously nailed down but i am not sure but this may be the problem ?
