Nope. Your mailer is broken and Justine (the canonical name of that
server) decided she didn't want malformatted mail.

You MUST use proper MIME encoding.

You can also assume that the operator of that machine set the
corresponding option it on purpose, because the Postfix default is to
accept such garbage as non-MIME mail with ISO national characters or UTF 8.
