Timo Longin discovered that Postfix incorrectly handled certain email line
endings. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass an email
authentication mechanism, allowing domain spoofing and potential spamming.

Please note that certain configuration changes are required to address
this issue. They are not enabled by default for backward compatibility.
