Double-newlines screwing up message delivery

[Dan Wood]

We are using PHPMailer version 2.3 -- I haven't yet taken the plunge  
to upgrade everything to the new version -- and things have been  
working fine until recently.  We moved to a new Linux server recently  
so maybe there is some correlation.

Most of the time we are having no problems, but we have a few people  
reporting that the messages they have received via PHPMailer have the  
headers spilling into the content.  I've gotten the .eml file from  
them directly to determine what is going on, and it looks like in each  
case, there are extra newlines after header lines, which of course is  
causing the headers afterward to be treated as if they were part of  
the message.

Can anybody think of why there might be these extra newlines appearing  
after header lines in a few cases?

Attached is an example.  I've pulled out some stuff to respect privacy  
of the recipient of the message...  Note how every line after the  
"Date" header starts inserting two newlines (LF's).

Is this familiar?  Something that could be happening from within  
PHPMailer?  Anything that might have gotten fixed in the new version?

Thanks,
Dan

A followup -- it looks like changing the sending method from 'mail' to  
'sendmail' has fixed the problem.  So although it is a puzzler, I  
guess I don't really need an answer anymore now that I've worked  
around it.
