Having excessively long head lines is an RFC violation, and exim
doesn't want to send on messages that violate RFCs. While it cannot
split such header line, it is reasonable behavior not to accept those
messages in the first place.

We should, however, add a meaningful message to this ACL, retitling
the bug appropriately.

Greetings
