Wrong kind of line-end between the headers and body.

I will want you to get back to me with your website if my payment terms is Ok by you . Regard. Steve Doherty This is what the spammer sent. Because s/h/it used an LF after the C-T-E header, and because some but not all mail servers /insist/ on you using CR-LF, as per the rfc, rather than any old LF on its own, this was taken as one continuous line with a pair of non-printing control chars in the middle, rather than a CTE - blank-line-separator - message body sequence. Message-ID: <ULTRAHOSTXLPEnq6nLB0000b8d1@ultrahost.ultrahaus.com> Spammer successfully sent a period on a line by itself after the message body, thus the smtp server thought that a bunch of headers with no body had been sent; it added its own Message-ID to (what it thought were just) the headers, and sent it on. Mailing-List: contact cygwin-help@cygwin Snip the rest: added at sourceware.org BTW, just as a side point to the debate on the main list about EOL handling: the smtp rfc, 2822, (and the http one as well, but I forget which number) both mandate CR-LF line endings. Considering that 2822 is derived from 822, which was published in 1982 before there ever was such a thing as MS-DOS, I consider that CR-LF is a Unix and IETF standard line-ending.
