OK, ... I see that we had an e-mail avalanche over the holidays.  I'll catch
up later.  In the meantime, I've got a question.

As mentioned previously, I have push processing done for CRLF (commands) and
CRLF.CRLF (message data) terminated content.  I am looking at dot stuffing,
and mulling over two options:

  1) Pure push driven parsing, but since we need to buffer
     message data, anyway ...
  2) Buffer the message data, looking only for the CRLF.CRLF,
     and use input streams to post-process the data, reusing
     code that we already have.

Opinions?

#1 might be faster at run-time, since we could avoid moving the data around
many time.  On the other hand, we may need to expose the message stream
multiple times, anyway.  We need to process the data once to buffer it, once
to move it into the spool's store, and once for each time it is read, e.g.,
to ship it off to ClamAV, spamd, et al.

I still need to address size limiting, but that's relatively simple,
although I am not sure that our current approach is best in terms of the
protocol.

And I re-read RFC 2821, and think that the situation with LF and CR is more
basic than our current code.
