Maybe it has something to do with how data gets split into TCP/IP
packets? If nothing else looks different, then that's pretty much the
only difference left. Dovecot tries to use as few packets as possible,
other servers may eg. always send separate messages in separate packets,
or things like that.. I know there used to be a problem with some
clients when Dovecot sent separate packets for the actual line contents
and another packet with CR+LF.

Anyway, I'll try to test this myself sometime soon..
