Being able to see the bounce reason on the Bounce report of CiviMail is really helpeful.

One problem - though, is that the field in the table is limited to 255 characters.

Here's a typical bounce generated from our server:

This is the mail system at host xxxxxx.xxxxxxx.xxx.

The really useful stuff is in the end, and is never available.

I'm wondering if people can see any downside to changing the field to a text field and then, in the code, limiting the error messages to 1024 characters? I'd be happy to take a crack at this for 4.3 if it sounds reasonable.

jamie
