(As Jeff suggested, you'll probably have better luck in a
different forum.)

Also, with all due respect:  Is it Sendmail that's about to break
things, or just the way that Sendmail acts when dealing with a
broken protocol?

This should not be happening in the body of the message.
Are you sending a proper header first, skipping a line, then
sending the data?  Or does Sendmail think that it's operating
on a header?

Again, are you sure that you have a proper header first?  I
imagine it'd be easier to make this change than to modify
Sendmail.

The rewrite rules don't operate on message body.

Any additional information that you can provide without breaching
your secrecy requirements?  Maybe the beginning of an example
message, with sensitive data removed?
