It seems that the default sendmail config mangles email. I have noted that 8-bit messages get converted to base64, in the process of which white space may be removed.

I consider this behaviour improper - 8-bit should be passed on as 8-bit text without re-encoding.

I would like at the very least to configure my sendmail to leave encoding alone, but better in my opinion would be to change it globally.

Would appreciate your comments.

You have complete control over sendmail. The sendmail config files are located in /etc/mail . Just restart your VDS through the control panel after you make changes.
