Bare LF

[quote user="GLM"]

Anyone knows how bare LF messages received by the SMTP module are processed by Mercury/32?

                              -messages are accepted and LF converted to CR/LF pair

I would expect this to be the case almost everywhere in Mercury. The problem is that a message file can be processed so many times in the course of passing through the queue that there may be some places where it's not so - but as a general rule, this is what I would expect to happen. I code pretty defensively against bad line endings.

Cheers!

Hello,

Anyone knows how bare LF messages received by the SMTP module are processed by Mercury/32?

                              -messages are rejected

                              -messages are accepted as is

                              -messages are accepted and LF converted to CR/LF pair

                              - NOTA

Bare LF: every line in an message is required to end with a CR/LF pair. Some software ends lines with LF. This isn't RFC-compliant.

TIA.

Regards.

You've got no answer and I really do not have a clue how these would be received by MercuryS and MercuryD but the real point is that the RFCs require the mailer to end every line to end with a CR/LF.
