maybe something like: "./configure --enable-strict-headers | --disable-strict-headers" would do the trick,
or even better, a runtime configuration option !!!
what are the REAL consequences of having 8bit characters in the Subject header ?
Thanks,

Yes, users do. And notice about strict 7-bit ASCII within headers
does not help.
Same problem using Cyrillic. I have not found anything else and
used a simple hack. Locate the following 2 files in the source tree: lmtpengine.c and message.c
change them the following way ( by inserting `#if 0' and `#endif' ) and re-compile the entire software.
This eliminates the substitution unconditionally.
lmtpengine.c:
.....
/* ignore this whitespace, but we'll copy all the rest in */
break;
} else {
// HACK -- Violet
#if 0
if (c >= 0x80) {
if (reject8bit) {
/* We have been configured to reject all mail of this
form. */
r = IMAP_MESSAGE_CONTAINS8BIT;
goto ph_error;
} else {
/* We have been configured to munge all mail of this
form. */
c = 'X';
}
}
#endif
/* just an ordinary character */
body[off++] = c;
.....
and message.c:
.....
else {
sawcr = 0;
blankline = 0;
// HACK -- Violet
#if 0
if (inheader && *p >= 0x80) {
if (reject8bit) {
/* We have been configured to reject all mail of this
form. */
if (!r) r = IMAP_MESSAGE_CONTAINS8BIT;
} else {
/* We have been configured to munge all mail of this
form. */
*p = 'X';
}
}
#endif
}
}
fwrite(buf, 1, n, to);
}
.....
In 2.2 cvs you do this in message.c and spool.c
