Layne,

$MAX_TOTAL_HEADER_LENGTH = 2048;

Needs to be changed.

This parameter is in the majordomo.cf file (most likely in /etc) and 
impacts all lists operating on the server.  As backup list owner, you may 
not have permissions to modify this.  Contact the host sysadmin for help if 
not.

I've had to modify this when users cc: large numbers of addressees along 
with a list posting.
