Sendmail has, for many many years, dynamically adjusted to CRLF
instead of LF. I suppose I could pass the "-ba" flag, which might
tell /usr/lib/sendmail to expect CRLF, but I'd worry that any sendmail
wrapper that doesn't deal with CRLF won't deal with the -ba flag.

I suppose I should just make Cyrus connect to an SMTP server so I know
what sort of beast I'm dealing with.
