Re: [fetchmail]SMTP "MAIL FROM" using multi-line "From:" header

The problem I'm experiencing is that on some emails fetchmail uses
the "From:" message header as the SMTP "MAIL FROM".  Should this
header be split over multiple lines, the SMTP listener will get a
multiline "MAIL FROM", and hence get confused.  What's worse is that
the offending email is never delivered locally in any shape or form,
although it is removed from the remote server.

I've added a check.  Candidate headers for the MAIL FROM address are now
rejected if they have embedded newlines.
