10 Comment #15 is mine. My remote ISP's MTA rejects (as in 5XX, not a
11 bounce) emails containing "bare linefeeds". This happens before my
12 blocking rules see the email, so I can't do anything about it. This ISP
13 is the only that allows me to admin stmtp-stage spamblocking, without
14 having to admin my own machine. I like the power of being able to issue
15 the big 550, rather than merely diverting to a spam folder. I simply
16 have no alternative, short of running my own MTA, and all that entails.
