Dear Martin,

This happen not always with big emails, many big emails still delivered
without any problems.

This problem appears to be random, but often.

The next host is the mail server, which is Lotus Domino 8.5.

Is it possible that the anti virus or mailwatch somehow altered the mail
format?

Best regards
