Content-Length optional for spamd?

[Radoslaw Zielinski]

A comment in spamd.raw states:

  # Protocol version 1.0 and greater may have "User:" and
  # "Content-length:" headers.  But they're not required.

Question: how can Content-Length be optional?

AFAIK there is no way (in socket communication) to indicate the end of
transmission of not marked, not delimited data -- except for closing the
connection, but it's a bit hard to send any response after that.
