Note that almost always you don't want to precisely follow RFC 821 here -- RFC 821 specifies \r\n line boundaries, but unix pipes almost always want \n line boundaries. Sendmail deals with this by silently discarding \r and respecting unix line boundaries. I don't know if there are any other "expected deviations" from 821. -- Raul
