Yup. The problem with bare linefeeds is simple: their interpretation
is ambiguous on a Unix machine. Same thing for a bare carriage-return
on a Macintosh. No SMTP client should ever accept such a thing for
transmission. Because some do, qmail rejects them. The problem,
however, is not with qmail, it is with the SMTP client.
Given the differing interpretations of bare linefeeds and
carriage-returns, they must be disallowed by the SMTP specification,
and they must not be accepted by SMTP clients or servers.
