I don't think you would normally get this kind of behavior with SMTP, but couldn't you end up having trouble if you're using some other means of message injection such as QMTP, uucp, or agents that write directly to the Maildir, etc.? I know that the courier mail system doesn't cause this kind of problem, but quite a few people are using just courier-imap in combination with something else (qmail in my case). Isn't it important to stick to the Maildir spec for interoperability? Perhaps an easy fix would be to add a bit of sanitizing code that would append a newline to messages that lack one? (I'm not a developer so feel free to flame if that's a dumb idea)

Message files may be readonly.

Well, in that case the fix would have to be in the module that reads the files right? How are you currently detecting EOF, could this just be a fencepost problem?
