qmail does. It doesn't corrupt messages with bare LF and it doesn't corrupt
messages with NUL. sendmail corrupts messages with bare LF and OE
"is corrupted" by NUL. Use fixcr (explained several times on this list
and via www.qmail.org) to "allow message corruption" by interpreting
\n.\n as \r\n.\r\n. In practice this is mostly safe (although I've seen
Mac clients sending 8-bit unencoded binary files as attachments). However,
you can't fault Dan for putting integrity first (after security).
