Good day,

quick question regarding message header format created by Webmail. I am using
SQWebmail as my reference implementation for RFC compliance.

SQWebmail creates a new message with the header fields limited by a LineFeed (0x0A).
Looking at RFC 822, I get the feeling it should be CR/LF (0x0C 0x0A).

Anyone care to shed some lights on this?
Lines in text files on UNIX/POSIX systems are terminated by the NL character.

The SMTP protocol has nothing to do with how text files look on unix-derived systems.

sqwebmail submits the message, in standard UNIX/POSIX text format to the local mail server, which is then responsible for delivering the message. In the event that the message will require SMTP transport to another mail server, the local mail server will use the RFC 822 wire protocol, where text lines are CRLF terminated, to transmit the message.
