  smtpd_data_restrictions=reject_unauth_pipelining and smtpd_discard_ehlo_keywords=chunking (or
  certain other options that exist in recent versions). Remote attackers can use a published
  exploitation technique to inject e-mail messages with a spoofed MAIL FROM address, allowing bypass
  of an SPF protection mechanism. This occurs because Postfix supports <LF>.<CR><LF> but some other
  popular e-mail servers do not. To prevent attack variants (by always disallowing <LF> without
  <CR>), a different solution is required: the smtpd_forbid_bare_newline=yes option with a Postfix
  minimum version of 3.5.23, 3.6.13, 3.7.9, 3.8.4, or 3.9.");
