Boz,
This is a FAQ - three options:
- Inform the sysadmin of the offending remote machine that it's broken
- Use fixcrio
- Edit qmail-smtpd to return a permanent rather than a temporary
error on receiving a bare-LF.
Search the archive for more detail on any of the above.
cheers,
Andrew.

Interesting.
I couldn't check the return from my mailer, since it didn't provide one
(VERY basic utility). Upgrading to a new version of the mailer corrects the
problem, however.
Now, is there any way to resolve the stray-LF problem, short of upgrading
all the workstations on my network?
Thanks.
