I understand it fine.  I just have to get as much info as possible for our
developers so they can code it up.  Just want to make sure they don't have
to do a ton of debugging due some subtle mistake somewhere.

What part of that document is unclear to you, or what don't you
understand? You might want to read serialqmtp.c (in serialmail) and
qmail-qmtpd.c (in qmail)

I am glancing over qmtp.txt and it's mostly quite clear to me, except
the stuff about 'safe messages'. If none of the bytes in a safe message
can be <0a>, when the hell *do* we see a safe message?

Looking at serialqmtp, it seems to just *disregard* this problem and
pump the message into the packet. Cool, no more CRLF/LF conversions :)

If it's netstrings that confuse you, read
http://cr.yp.to/proto/netstrings.txt
