I'm sure someone asked this on the SA-list the other day he was having that
exact problem with Exim barfing on the header being too long.  I'm not sure
what the limit is on Sendmail - I had a quick Google but couldn't find it,
and I'm not bothered about downloading the source to check :-))

Because of this the Tripwire rules were renamed from FVGT_TRIPWIRE_?? To
TW_?? - but I don't believe that there is a way to combine multiple matching
rules into one combined for the report - I just did it by hand to save
bandwidth on my post :-))

If you're paranoid about this you could always turn off the 'Detailed Spam
Report' option in MailScanner.conf.

Kind regards,
Steve.
