I had a CR/LF problem with a JavaMail implementation. I used
recordio to track down the problem. I first noticed the problem in
the logs, whem smtpd would exit with a status of 256. The remote
unit would think the mail was delivered because smtpd said OK when
quit was given, but the exit code indicates that something failed.
It wasn't until I recorded the whole session and saw the note about
cr/lf that I figured out what the problem was. Shouldn't smtpd
give an error back to the remote unit if it does not intend to
deliver the mail? All the 'bad' mails ended up in /dev/null -
fully delivered from the remote side, completely lost by qmail.
