[AMaViS-user] disable header-check in amavisd-new

[Michael Sattler]

Hello=20

I=B4m running a small mailgateway with postfix, courier-imap, sqwebmail =
and fetchmail (with multidrop mailbox !)

How can I disable the header-check in amavisd-new (debian sarge) ?
Some mails were rejected because of "non encoded 8 bit data in message =
header".=20

Line 402 /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf

--8<--
$final_bad_header_destiny =3D D_PASS; # (defaults to D_PASS), D_BOUNCE =
suggested
--8<--

Doesn=B4t it means, that mail with a "bad header" is still be delivered =
to the recipient ??=20

Which line do I have to comment out to disable the header_check ?

Thank you for help and ignoring my bad English ;-)

Sincerely

Michael

To bypass header checks, you could add:
@bypass_header_checks_acl = qw( . );

Yes, it should. This is what you want, right? Have you had this
setting all along, or did you recently change it to solve the problem?
I think this should allow delivery of messages with bad headers,
unless of course they are first stopped by virus/spam/banned checks.
