For DATA, our internal SMTP server keeps reading until it sees a block
of data ending in crlf.crlf or it times out. Only on the timeout does it
then check to see if there was a lf.lf. Yes, we'll recognize it, but a
client that sends it is going to get lousy performance. Seems like a
reasonable tradeoff.
