Not to strain at gnats over the timing of the problem, but the date for
the tracker for the item we're talking about here which was apparently
misparsed was dated Apr 28 20:49 UTC.

But, if the parser was tripping over the missing space and the code
wasn't corrected until some time after that, then that would be the
explanation for the parser's problem.

That doesn't yet explain the reporter's problem.

I don't think the right answer is "The parser was broken but now it is
fixed so that won't happen again."

I think the right answer should be, "I've been negligent and quick
reporting but I'm not going to do that anymore." - or - "Since I don't
have time or responsibility to do any better than quick reporting, I've
decided to not SpamCop report any more."

If I were Maximilian Ferstl, I wouldn't be settling for any kind of
palaver about something being wrong with the parser that was causing my
client to be spamcop reporting my server as a spamsource.
