django-mailer 50-character limits on to_address and from_address

[Steven Skoczen]

Hey all,

I've recently tracked down a particularly hard-to-find bug to the 50
character limit for the to_address and from_address fields in django-
mailer's Message, DontSendEntry, and MessageLog models.

Is there a reason for the 50 character limit? From what I can tell,
ISO standards allow up to 320 characters. (And the shorter fields
were munging emails certain users tried to send)

I've seen no ill effects from setting this to 255 and adding some
truncate code in my mailing functions, but wanted to see if I'm
missing something, or if this is something that should be changed in
Pinax's future.

Thanks,
Steven
