Bug#942493: 5000 is a tad too small (was Re: lintian: Please warn about overly-long header fields)

[Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.de>]

Hi *,

I understand that 5000 is a lot for most fields, but my
Description field is a mere 7526 chars long, and the original
request was for a warning above 16384 chars(? bytes?).

Please reconsider: adjust limits depending on which field it is.

bye,

Stéphane, I actually don’t block Googlemail, they’re just too utterly
stupid to successfully deliver to me (or anyone else using Greylisting
and not whitelisting their ranges). Same for a few other providers such
as Hotmail. Some spammers (Yahoo) I do block.
