Ok -- that's a bug, but it makes sense. That error comes from
smtpd.c:/^pipemsg(), which means we've already started feeding
it into the delivery pipeline. don't think we're losing messages,
just creating spurious empty ones.
I'm not sure when I'll get to it, but I think it'll be easy enough
to do -- maybe kill the process we're piping to on a garbled message,
or don't open the pipe until we've parsed the headers.
