*That* is documented:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+-----------------------------------------------+
|use_crlf|Use: pipe|Type: boolean|Default: false|
+-----------------------------------------------+

This option causes lines to be terminated with the two-character CRLF sequence
(carriage return, linefeed) instead of just a linefeed character. In the case
of batched SMTP, the byte sequence written to the pipe is then an exact image
of what would be sent down a real SMTP connection.

The contents of the message_prefix and message_suffix options are written
verbatim, so must contain their own carriage return characters if these are
needed. Since the default values for both message_prefix and message_suffix end
with a single linefeed, their values must be changed to end with "\r\n" if
use_crlf is set.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

... but maybe I should flag up the final sentence with "WARNING" or
something...
