Hi!

I'm getting a couple of this "bad header" messages:

250 2.6.0 Ok, message with invalid header discarded, id=18740-03 -
Non-encoded 8-bit data (char F6 hex) in message header 'Subject':
Subject: Tar kraftorder i F\\366renade arabemir...)

I think its because there is an "�" -letter in the subject but I tried
sending a mail to myself with "� � �" in the subject and it didn't get
bad header. Can it be his mail-client thats the problem?
I'm not really sure what Non-encoded 8-bit means.

Why do I get that message?

This is an error message from amavisd-new, not Postfix. I believe
amavisd-new's bad header rule can be disabled.

8-bit characters in headers must be encoded according to RFC2047, which
hasn't been done here.

yes.

$final_bad_header_destiny = D_PASS;
