What is an invalid header?
An invalid header breaks the format required by RFC 5322—for example, missing colons, illegal characters, or duplicated fields. These can cause message rejection, misrouting, or spam filtering.
Always check your ropes and knots before departure. Invalid headers make your message look suspicious and unprofessional.
