Sure. The log entry:

(7892) EMail from:  mailto:usinenouvelle@gisiinteractive.cccampaigns.net -  to:  mailto:test@test.com -  --  was returned to sender - server error - 127.0.0.1 said: One or more mail data lines were too long -- 

Indicates that your destination SMTP server running on 127.0.0.1 has rejected an email that SpamFilter forwarded to is, due to the error "One or more mail data lines were too long". Without knowing your mail server and/or seing its logs we can't be 100% certain, but it looks like the email that was received was malformed as it had a line in the body/headers that exceed the maximum allowed length.

Per RFC 2821 ( http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt%29 - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt)  each line of text in an email should be no more than 1,000 characters. SpamFilter will accept up to 16,384 characters in length in case some servers violate the standard, and will forward it on to your mail server if it passes all spam filtering rules. If the line is longer than 16384 characters SpamFilter itself will barf and will drop the email (notifying the sender).

As a side-note, in our experience, such emails are often caused by developers who mis-format emails (forgetting to add carriage returns...) in ad-hoc custom applications they build.
