Probably the best thing to do, to minimize the possible corruption of
email, is to add a /service/smtpdlf, bind to another IP address or
port number, and patch the copy of qmail-smtpd that's running on that
service so it accepts LF as a line terminator. Then tell the people
who can't fix their broken code that they can use smtpdlf at the
different port or IP address.
