Last time I had a problem like this, I piped them all through tr -d '\000'. Nowadays, postfix is set to reject this crap before it comes near Cyrus in some places, and in others (where we need the messages), we strip the NULs away shamelessly. After all, common courtesy of not modifying data in-transit extends only to email, and whatever something with embedded NULs is, it certainly ain't email. They just resemble email enough that they can (often) be converted into email with some NUL-stripping ;-) The same goes to messages with empty message-id headers. We strip them away so that they become email ;p -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
