Looking through man fetchmail I read: The 'forcecr' option controls whether lines terminated by LF only are given CRLF termination before forwarding. Strictly speaking RFC821 requires this, but few MTAs enforce the requirement it so this option is normally off (only one such MTA, *qmail*, is in significant use at time of writing). Searching the list-archive I've seen many postings which contain forcecr as an option in the .fetchmailrc file. I'am not using this option and qmail works without problems. Furthermore reading http://cr.yp.to/smtp/request.html I can't see any reason for using the forcecr option. Dan Bernstein only recommends that servers should look only for LF. So my questions are: - Is the forcecr option obsolet for the use with qmail? - Have there been problems with fetchmail and qmail without this option? TIA, Martin
