It's not only unkosher, it's illegal. See RFC 2821 section 4.3.1 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt) and RFC 2920 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2920.txt). Those rules are important to me as someone who intends to implement SMTP with nonblocking IO. There's nothing wrong with servers that happen to accept the illegal input, but clients "MUST NOT" send it.
