I hope qpsmtpd doesn't become more strict in this reagard.
Frankly, I don't find it necessary to be that strict with the spaces and
angle brackets, since there are ample tools available to determine that
something is spam for other criteria, and since qmail (and others?) seem
to work that way also.
Personally, I try to accommodate the sending of legit mail, so if
a technique blocks it, I likely won't use it. This sounds like one of
those techniques.
