I don't think passwords starting with a space are supported.
For example is it unclear what the POP3 command "pass  mypass" will do.
Most parser will just jump over the two spaces. Using spaces in passwords
is a very bad thing. You will find more breakages than you like.
It is far easier to just deny " " in passwords and tell the users to use
eg "_" as replacement.
