bare line feeds

Super NewBE here with a question

Does qmail kick back messages with bare line feeds??

If so is there a work around for this? We have a new minolta color copier
and it will not send the files that it scans. The mail log on the copier
keeps say err 421 conection went away. The copier can send it status
message when it prints an e-mail that it gets.

Yes. Bare linefeeds are not permitted in SMTP.

Modify the qmail source to make it non-RFC compliant.

If bare lines feeds are not permitted how come the same copier can be hooked
to and Exchange server and it sends the messages w/ or w/out the attchements
right out?

Modify the qmail source to make it non-RFC compliant does not sound like
something a "SuperNewbe" should take on!?!?!?!?!?

Just because Exchange does something is no guarantee that it complies
with anything, not that many versions ago Exchange's default
installation was as an open relay...

There are patches to switch off this behaviour. I can't remember where
off hand, but a careful Google, or detailed look through Life With
Qmail, should turn up what you need.

Btw, please don't top-post, instead interleave your answers with the
points you're answering, as I've done. Makes the conversation easier to
follow. Ta!
