This is the most common answer but not the best one. You can't possibly
fix all broken clients for one thing, and for another: there are broken
servers as well (mostly microsoft servers) and you can't say to those as
well to get "fixed". The solution I apply is simply accepting these mails
as well. Commenting out 3 lines in qmail-smtpd.c does the trick for me,
the 3 lines being: "if (ch == '\n') straynewline();"
