Uh, what? If someone tries to send a message with bare CR or LF, my
mail server rejects the message and says why in the status message at
the end of the transaction. I can tell you from experience that it
rejects hundreds of malformed messages from botnets for every one from
someone with a real but misconfigured MTA.

Are you saying I should silently discard them?  That seems ill advised.
