I have a problem with qmail, which is rejecting send emails from 2 email accounts in particular. When I enter through webmail everything works ok but when I use the blessed "MS Outlook" installed on PC's I get an error of the type: "51 See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html" wich means "Bare LFs in SMTP" , which seems to be some LF (line feed) problem.

I have no idea if this can be fixed by configuring the outlook client or running some command in qmail. Thanks for your help!!

The error appears if your client sends incorrectly formatted email messages. All lines in an email messages should end with CR and LF (carrige return and line feed). This message occurs if there are no CR's in the message. Could you send email successfully through OWA?

This problem usually arises with badly-configured mail clients or servers. You can't get mail through to msn.com and thousands of other systems around the Internet. Your mailer is violating 822bis section 2.3, which specifically prohibits all bare LFs.
