Are you asking if, when a message comes in over our SMTP connection,
if that message has a leading '\n', will the headers be considered
part of the message? I don't know how to test that.
We are still running sendmail here over SMTP so if you can generate a
test message and send it to me, you'll know your answer.
I could be the only one in the world with that leading blank in my
application.
