There's nothing different actually, the problem is the reading of the queue
file which was spoofed. If the mail doesn't get queued (and gets delivered
immediately) things are treated as they should, as any \n characters are
treated as part of the strings. But if it ever gets down to the queue file,
once being read any things get whole new meanings (\n breaks the strings).
