Hello list,
somehow I don't get a new line separating the mail body from the mail
headers. How can I enforce a new line between header and body?
I am using qpsmtp 0.83 and delivery to maildir.
Hallo Bjørn,
Can you give an example of the SMTP transaction (the input to the server)
that gives the unexpected result?
I did a simple transaction over telnet and port 25:
--------------
HELO localhost
MAIL FROM:<f...@domain.tld>
RCPT TO:<t...@domain.tld>
DATA
FROM:<f...@domain.tld>
TO:<t...@domain.tld>
SUBJECT: Just a test
This is a test.

QPSMTPD does not separate the body from the header. Doing the same on a
Postfix SMTPD adds a separate line between the header and the body.
Your message is not a valid RFC 2822 message.
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html
Your message can only be interpreted as one with no body, and with one
invalid header "This is a test".
I use the "maildir" queue plugin. I looked at the "maildir" plugin and
it could use some additional code to add a empty line while writing the
body. Should I modify that code to add that empty line?
IMO no. Just use a valid message format in whatever you are using to
generate messages.
Probably no one is going to it the way I have done it above. Probably
most SMTPD servers out there would do it that way (see the new line
after "SUBJECT"):
--------------
HELO localhost
MAIL FROM:<f...@domain.tld>
RCPT TO:<t...@domain.tld>
DATA
FROM:<f...@domain.tld>
TO:<t...@domain.tld>
SUBJECT: Just a test
This is a test.
