} It appears there are sites out there that terminate their replies to
} SMTP commands with just LF rather than CRLF, as RFC 821 demands.
} Furthermore, it appears that sendmail and smail are able to send
} messages to such sites, whereas Exim can't, as it is following the RFC.
} Under such pressure, I feel that I probably have to change Exim, but
} what do others think? At least one Exim user supports it:
I think we have to work with the liberal acceptance, strict sending.
There is also bound to be a mac implementation which terminates with \r
only. However in just-send-8 mode life is a little different.... I guess
you have to just take it as it comes, but accept the trailing . in one of
several forms...
