POSTFIX and git-send-email: lost connection after DATA

While trying to send a long patch with git-send-email, I get this error in my postfix log on my smtp server.  It prevents me from sending the patch.

hostname postfix/smtpd[975]: lost connection after DATA (16371 bytes) from x[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]

I am aware of a possible MTU problem (I have no idea how to diagnose or fix this).  I have disabled firewalls everywhere to eliminate that.  Searching the Internet has been unhelpful.  I am completely stumped.

This only happens with git-send-email and it seems to be related to some long lines that happen (see post #3).  Reading the man page for git-send-email doesn't seem to provide any insight either.

Does anyone know a possible solution?

So? What about "--validate"?

When I split the patch into two patches, it solved the issue, so I'm not sure if --validate would catch an issue.  I honestly think it's something to do with Postfix.
