hi :

I had an automated vcs commit email today that never came through.  When 
another developer told me about it, and I looked into it I found it was 
rejected : 5.7.1 disallowed character

I understand the postfix configuration in main.cf

message_reject_characters = \0

I read through the comments, and also kolab/issue3594.  It was suggested 
originally to use message_strip_characters = \0, but was decided on reject 
instead.

I am wondering if there is anything wrong with using strip, instead of reject 
here?  If the null byte is removed, there should be no problems for cyrus 
with it right?

I couldn't find any argument for reject over strip, other than it would not 
changing the message content.  But what content would actually require those 
null bytes?  Does anyone know of any reason to not just strip those out, and 
let the messages through?
