Looks like there was some more discussion of this via the digest, but to keep the original thread intact, I'll just reply here. I'm still a little confused over whether or not my issue is an Outlook/Exchange problem or something else, since I'm not certain how I should be interpreting this raw log. I've attached the rawlog to this email (domain names and a few surnames redacted, and about 40K crap between the <HEAD></HEAD> tags removed, but everything else intact). Can anyone take a peek at this and see if it indicates a problem upstream or downstream from the rawlog? Thanks much. Also note the other oddity that stands out is that some of the envelope recipients are broken (actually, all the recipients in my domain). For example, lines 19 - 21:
To: "Roy",
"Mandred",
"Jerry"
...don't show any email addresses -- just the names. I know that this is a problem, but I'm just not sure if it is a separate issue, or related to the email mangling problem. At any rate, line 28 shows the ~1134 character References header, with the breakage at the end there.
Note that this is the rawlog.out, not the rawlog.in. My confusion here lies in the fact that the breakage seems to be in the out-log only. I just don't know how to read these logs. The in-log is basically exactly the same as the out-log, except that it doesn't contain the first 38 lines that the out-log contains... so does that mean the email came in just fine, but didn't go "out" ok? Or does this still confirm that the email was mangled from outside of Dovecot? Thanks ahead of time. I can send the in-log if you want.

FYI, I got rawlog working and it shows the same break in the raw logs as in the broken headers. Below is a snippet from the rawlog (names and other identifiers redacted). The offending sequence is always in the References headers section, and you can see the line breaks there that show this. So it sounds like this can't be an issue with Dovecot, am I right?
Yeah, sounds like Outlook breaks with huge headers. That's one huge References header you have.
