Yes, is satisfied here.

Yes, is satisfied here.
I get mail delivered reliably to postmaster@`cat me` by either of these
means:
- QMQP with a mail containing LF to terminate the last line
- SMTP
- qmail-inject
But I don't get any mail or bounce delivered non-locally (remember that
locals is empty!) when using QMQP to inject the mail without LF.
See my other mails for more information, particularly is qmail-send
trusting qmail-qmqpd to inject proper mail, but qmail-qmqpd can inject
mail without the terminating LF. qmail-inject does not. qmail-smtpd
cannot.
