Quoting Jan Pieter Cornet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Patching sendmail to reject on bare LF terminated lines is likely
asking for a LOT of trouble. Since traditionally sendmail doesn't care
if you used CRLF or just LF, it's likely that lots of (local, unix-
specific) programs submit messages using only LF line endings. Some
programs might even implicitly rely on the fact that sendmail
"corrects" the line endings.

You are right there.  Sendmail is one of the "be liberal what you accept, be
strict what you send" projects.  Unfortunately in this case, it is not strict
enough in what it is sending...  Kinda getting of topic for this mailing
list...
