Re: Timeout/retry problem with particular email destinations

Postfix does not send stray newline (\n) characters. The code simply
does not exist, because Postfix does not store newline characters as
part of the message. A newline in input (via SMTP or otherwise)
always becomes \r\n upon delivery via SMTP.

In other words, the yahoo mailer is hosed, so what's new.
