It's hard to know what to tell PHP developers when we get mixed
messages from someone like Wietse...
No, it's not so hard.
PHP developers must follow the standard:
- use "network EOL" (CRNL) when speaking SMTP;
- use "system EOL" (CRNL or NL or CR) when speaking with local MTA.
Eventually mail() should convert "mixed line-endings" to "right
line-endings", and "right line-endings" may be selected by the
system administrator (a php.ini "mail_line_ending = system|network"
switch?).
As for "other vendors", I can tell you first-hand that sendmail and
exim both handle "mixed line-endings" just fine.
Actually a "real" PHP programmer is not using mail() at all, because
nobody know where the application will be installed.
