I did see those but they did not appear to relate to anything we are
doing so I did not read them in detail. I will now go back to these in
the list archives.

Silly me I was looking for bare CRs as the error message advised. I will
now go back and review the code for bare LFs. I am also having the code
reviewed by someone else.

If we are sending them we are not doing so intentionally. The code in
question was reviewed and updated for CR/LF pairing many years ago and
has been running fine until now.

We are a little suspicious that the issue is only occurring with mail
sent to shaw.ca email addresses. Shaw was recently acquired by Rogers
and they are in the process of merging Shaw operations into Rogers so
it is not inconceivable that problems might occur during this merger.
We are trying to reach techs at Shaw but it is not easy.

In the interim, we will continue to review our code and operations to
see if it is a problem at our end.

Thank you very much for your suggestions.

Regards, Hugh
