I'm seeing the above error message in the log for my MS Mail gateway
(MailBeamer), but only for 1 particular message.
Here's a transcript of the Mailbeamer log file:

Here's the same connection from qmail-smtpd's point of view:

I've looked at Dan's explanation of the problem and I am aware of the
SMTP LF issue. My problem is why should this error occur just for 1
message? I mean, if *every* message had the same problem, I could
understand it and would put it down to a broken program, but for just 1
message to cause the error? Seems strange to me...
Oh, and it was me who sent the message and I've sent several to the same
address previously with no apparent problems, ie they were received
intact.
Any ideas?
Or is my Mail gateway broken?
