Actually the limit of payload is 70 characters (72 with the quotation
marks in the po-file), i.e. these two translations are too long:

---------------
msgid "internet site; mail is sent and received directly using SMTP"
msgstr ""
"lloc d'internet; el correu s'envia i es rep directament utilitzant l'SMTP"

msgid "mail sent by smarthost; received via SMTP or fetchmail"
msgstr ""
"el correu s'envia a través de l'smarthost i es rep via SMTP o fetchmail"
---------------
