Ok, this indeed explains it -- thanks a lot for taking time to investigate it. We always use "\r\n" for the outgoing message, regardless of where does it go (SMTP server or local MTA).

I'll fix soon as it should be quite easy. However I'm afraid this doesn't explain the problems reported by Alan G Isaac as he is under Windows and so probably doesn't have any local MTA (and if he did, it would be using "\r\n" line termination anyhow). So there is some other problem as well -- but it's already good to know about this one. Thanks again!
